Doesn't wanting to raise the age of criminal responsibility for children to 16-18yrs contradict your opinion that children as young as 12yrs should be able to apply for & obtain legal recognition of their acquired gender? At what age do children have capacity?
Is it at 12 or 18?
As you are the Children & Young Persons Commissioner @Bruce_Adamson @CYPCS Could you explain what appears to be a contradictory view of what age children are fully capable of understanding the implications of their behaviour and the choices they make?
@CYPCS submission for #ACRBill acknowledges that children's understanding and decision making is variable, esp in those who have been through a trauma. Yet, the Commissioner believes that a 12yo could have the capacity to legally change their gender.
