My grandson is 5 and has been able to recognise the difference between girls and boys for a long time - and only wants to play with boys. If you told him one of the girls in his class is actually a boy he'd be totally bewildered.
To be honest if I had a 4 year boy who said "I'm a girl", I'd say "No you're not"

Absolutely ridiculous.

A Church of England primary school allowed a four-year-old boy to join as a girl, The Telegraph can reveal.

The child’s sex was hidden from classmates, who were described by parents as traumatised when they found out.

Surely a step too far and too soon? What do you think? I admit I was shocked.
