Doctors will no longer encourage gender-curious children to use the pronouns of their preferred identity.

New NHS draft guidelines will also discourage the act of children dressing in clothes of the opposite sex.

Health chiefs say 'social transitioning' should be no longer be viewed as a 'neutral act' due to the significant effects it may have on a child's psychology.

Social transitioning refers to a person being treated as the gender different to their biological sex but without medical interventions like controversial puberty blockers or hormones.

This can see people change their name, their pronouns and dress in clothes usually associated with their opposite sex.

Their family, friends and school are encouraged to be supportive of this process.

At the extreme end of the scale, social transitioning can see people controversially use the bathrooms or changing facilities of their believed gender identity.

But now NHS England's draft approach calls on clinicians to recognise most cases of 'gender incongruence' in children are just a phase.

'The clinical approach in regard to pre-pubertal children will reflect evidence that in most cases gender incongruence does not persist into adolescence,' it reads.

Therefore, it says encouraging social transitioning for prepubescent children should be considered carefully due to the mental health risks posed to the child when they reach their teenage years.

'The clinical approach has to be mindful of the risks of an inappropriate gender transition and the difficulties that the child may experience in returning to the original gender role upon entering puberty if the gender incongruence does not persist into adolescence,' it reads.

Even for older children, those already in their adolescence, social transitioning should only be considered a last resort in severe cases.

The NHS England draft guidelines are part of the health service's plan to close the highly-controversial Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock clinic, the country's only gender identity service for children.

GIDS is scheduled to shut its doors in the spring after a review ruled that the service was unsafe.

It found that other mental health issues were 'overshadowed' in favour of gender identity treatment, prompting accusations that staff rushed children onto powerful drugs.

As part of its response NHS England said GIDS would be replaced with two services one in London and one in the North West.

The new London service will be run by a partnership between Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and Evelina London Children's Hospital.

In the North West, the service will be a partnership between Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust and Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.

After these initial two, a further six or seven similar services could be opened in other parts of the country.

These services would operate under the draft documents now up for public consultation.

Other changes in the draft include a clampdown on referrals to gender identity care.

Would all passengers please brace for incoming cope and seethe. Repeat, brace for cope and seethe.

Finally. Now they need to clue in to how they're confusing kids into thinking they have gEnDer dYSPhOrIA by spewing their half baked gender ideology at them.

Fucking YES! Finally, some sanity!
