Children Who Identify as Transgender Likely Going Through a ‘Phase’, Says UK Health Service

Breitbart.com reports: “Children displaying transgender tendencies are likely going through a ‘phase’ that they may come out of as they age and therefore most should not be subjected to transition therapies, guidance from the United Kingdom’s NHS has stated.
