Fascinating charts show explosion in number of children who think they are trans amid claims Covid lockdowns fuelled rates – especially in young girls | Daily Mail Online

Fascinating charts track the explosion of gender-questioning youth in the UK over the past few years.

More than 5,000 referrals were made to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) in 2021/22, compared to just a few hundred a decade earlier.

Girls have accounted for an increasing proportion of the total.

Almost two-thirds of referrals in recent years were in teenage girls.

For comparison, boys made up the vast majority when NHS medics were offering gender care to children and young people a decade ago.

The statistics formed part of the bombshell Cass review, which ruled that staples of NHS treatment of trans youth – like doling out puberty blockers and sex hormones – were built on ‘shaky foundations’.

A damning 400-page dossier by respected paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass found such treatments have little evidence of positive outcomes or safety in the long term.
