England’s only child gender clinic has found three-quarters of children looking to change gender are girls.
The proportion is the highest ever recorded, according to the new figures from London‘s Tavistock.
The number of girls who attended the clinic in a year until April was 1,740 – 74 per cent – with just 624 boys referred.

Polly Carmichael, who is director of the clinic, told the Sunday Times: ‘We are continuing to see a much higher proportion of assigned females at birth referred to the service.
‘We are alive to this issue, and are exploring it.’
There has also been a rise in the number of younger children attending the clinic – with a staggering 54 per cent being 14 or under.
A 30 per cent leap in 13-year-olds saw their figure go up to 331 for the year, as well as a further 511 14-year-olds attending the centre on Belsize Lane, north London.
