Some interesting news/site links.

This link is to the New York Time and an article supporting boys & girls gender identity when the line isn't clear. Compelling, well written and an easy read.
 
This link is a multilingual (several languages) site with English options on each page. It deals with the long overdue reclassification/ identification of Transsexualism... and more to the point the latest proposed standards for care in this regard. Written in plane English without a lot of medical jargon.
 
This next link is a page about the new classification of HBS ( Harry Benjamin Syndrome) and if you don't know who Dr B was... you should! The page deals with the new definition and cause (Aetiology) of what is being currently diagnosed as Transsexualism. I think it is a must read!
 
This last link is to a Philadelphia City News (City Beat) article about whether a 6 yr can make up their mind about themselves. A fair deal of this  is interviews with parents at a recent Transgendered Health Conference in Philadelphia... very enlightening.
