In a bid to better understand why so many young people, particularly girls, are being referred, the government has been reviewing evidence from gender identity services in other countries.

This shows that the pattern in the UK (where 2.8 natal girls are being referred for every 1 boy), is mirrored in a number of other developed countries:

Tampere, Finland: 6.8 girls referred for every 1 boyToronto, Canada: 1.8 girls referred for every 1 boyAmsterdam, Netherlands: 1.7 girls referred for every 1 boy

What it is not clear is what might be driving these increases. Despite a wide variety of theories, there is little hard evidence to support these at present.

That is why the government has been reviewing existing evidence, including information from other countries, to better understand whether the trends seen in the UK are also happening elsewhere. Following on from this, the GEO will now commission brand new research to explore the nature of adolescent gender identity and transitioning.

Merkel at it again. Seriously, why won't they just be open about what's going on? It's nothing to be ashamed of, and while I understand that she has the right to privacy, the German people have the right to know at least some details about the health of their leader.

I understand that this could lead to a sort of political crisis, but I'm sure that overall people would take a responsible attitude given the circumstances, and the people can't be kept in the dark, treated like they were born yesterday.

ummm... why does it even bother you so much? i know you said 'the german ppl deserve to know', but you're the only one bringing it up. she actually made some statements about it, that she's in a processing phase of the first incident, but that she's well overall, and that it's not an issue of major concern. honestly, that's good enough for me - not only because it's her last term anyway, but mainly because there are zero signs of this impacting her ability to do her job. if she started to say and do absolutely insane and stupid shit on a daily basis like certain other leaders do, i'd be concerned - but apart from those short episodes of her shaking, she seems her normal boring self.
also, despite her being at the very top of german politics for quite a long time now, there's not the kind of personal cult around her that you have with other heads of government, and an unexpected retirement would not plunge the nation and the EU into chaos. as intended by our constitution, she simply doesn't wield that kind of power - and to her credit, she never tried to consolidate more during her long chancellorship.

Today it is 5 years ago since flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian missile fired by Pro-Russian rebels.



As of today, still noone has seen justice for this crime against humanity.

Russia will get its due one way or another.

For sure the who's fault is going to Russia who probably regret this incident too...
Maybe economical sanctions killed some people, indirectly.
