Transgender Trend
Transgender Trend is a British pressure group which describes itself as a group of parents, professionals and academics who are concerned about the number of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria (a diagnosis given to transgender people who feel a mismatch between their personal sense of their own gender and their sex registered at birth). It was founded by Stephanie Davies-Arai. The group has been described as an "anti-trans" pressure group by "PinkNews", but the group rejects that description. The group says it is in favour of "sex-based rules where justified" and says that LGBT rights  groups such as Stonewall and Mermaids promote rigid gender roles by encouraging gender non-conforming children to identify as transgender. The group is against prescribing puberty-blocking drugs or medical interventions to adolescents under 16 and has issued its own guidance for schools to "question the trans narrative". Its resource pack has argued that gender dysphoria in children can be the result of "simple social contagion" via the controversial concept of rapid-onset gender dysphoria. In response, Stonewall and other LGBT groups have called Transgender Trend's guidance misleading and inaccurate.
