TRANSGENDER KIDS: WHO KNOW BEST?
DIRECTOR / PRODUCER • BBC TWO / THIS WORLD
Made years before the debate reached its current intensity, this film confronts questions around children, gender dysphoria and medical treatment that would go on to become the focus of fierce public and political scrutiny.
Through young people, parents, clinicians and activists — including experiences of transition and detransition — the film explores competing views around identity, evidence and care that continue to resonate today.
THE RESPONSE
“Balanced, thoughtful and thought-provoking.” — The Guardian
“An engrossing and enlightening film… [that] didn’t so much seek to convince one way or another as to lay out the arguments clearly, succinctly and sympathetically.”
— The Daily Telegraph
The film attracted strong responses across the media and from campaigners even before transmission, becoming a reference point in an increasingly fierce debate — and a resource for those seeking to understand the arguments at its heart.
