The unidentified Year Five child left school as a boy and returned the next day as a girl, in female uniform with a ponytail tied in pink ribbon. The case comes after reports a 12-year-old boy had started secondary school as a girl. Both children are too young to have had a sex change operation or hormone therapy as this is only given to people aged 18 or over. There was a mixed reaction from gender experts. A spokesman for transgender group the Beaumont Society said: "This child is vulnerable." (source: telegraph.co.uk)
