The Telegraph added: ‘As part of the new approach, medics have been reminded that for “most” young people, the feeling of being in the wrong body is just a “phase” and does not persist into adulthood.’
Children under seven years of age may not be expected to have sufficiently developed their intellectual understanding of, and comprehension of, sex and gender to be able to understand the reasons for, and potential consequences of, a referral to a specialist gender incongruence service.
[By seven, children will] be more established within school, and education professionals and school nurses will be able to contribute to a general observational view as to the appropriateness of a referral.
The plan reads
The drafts also state that a ‘child can only be sent for gender treatment by specialist NHS mental health or pediatric services.’
Beforehand there was no baseline age for referral and children as young as three were treated by the Tavistock – a transgender clinic that closed last year. ‘On average, three children aged under seven were being referred every month,’ The Telegraph says.
Dr. David Bell, a consultant psychiatrist and former governor at Tavistock before he turned into a whistleblower exposing the clinic’s practices, said in a statement:
For me, there is a structural problem which needs particular caution: referring a child to a gender service, even if they are seen in the context of a multidisciplinary team, in that the mere fact of referral is consequential.
It risks the child’s difficulties being viewed by themselves and their family as primarily to do with gender. Labelling the problem as a gender problem can easily be the first step on a pathway to medical transition.
My view is that certainly for the younger ages, children should be managed within the context of the ordinary Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
Their difficulties should not be designated as a gender problem, it is much more appropriate that they be seen as individuals who are distressed and this is one way in which that distress is expressed.
Bell said
‘Dr. Bell also described the definition of gender incongruence in childhood included in the specification as “dangerous”. It says it is characterized by “make-believe or fantasy play, toys, games, or activities and playmates that are typical of the experienced gender rather than the assigned sex.”‘
The definition comes from the World Health Organization (WHO), which Bell says is “completely the wrong way of looking at it.”
We are corrupting a child’s capacity to have an imagination and imposing a gender stereotype on them.
Bell added
At the same time England is set to release new guidance that will effectively make it harder for a child to socially transition in the classroom. ‘NHS England said that the change will ensure children are receiving help while on the waiting list, which currently stands at three years,’ The Telegraph notes.
However, ‘children who have experienced early-onset gender dysphoria starting at a young age will be eligible for the trials.’
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 7
The wrath of Almighty God is going to rain upon the U.K., America, and the rest of the West for its abominations it commits. This insanity, that will get worse, can only be allowed to continue for much longer.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I believe either Russia or China will invade the UK.
Chinese and Russian troops marching down the streets of London before there’s a major massacre. Massacres in London, Birmingham, Chester, Liverpool, Surrey, and many more places as well as in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
How sick are these people, it bogles the mind.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Why is that so hard for people to understand?
