Growing up transgender

The number of children aged 10 or younger who have been referred for NHS help with transgender feelings has more than quadrupled in the last six years.

A 2012 survey of 10,000 people by the Equality and Human Rights Commission suggested that 1% of the population is transgender but the true figure could be higher as many never seek help.

A panel including young transgender people, the mother of a transgender child and a child psychiatrist discusses their experiences.
