Respectful debate please.

Morning all.
Now I don't consider myself transphobic. Fully support those who choose to transition properly and it isn't just a fad.
However picture this scenario, and I'm interested in your views.

A child in a school (female) with complex personal care. Requires staff to be trained to do a procedure and does require two members of staff present (trained, and witness) for safety purposes.

Member of staff at school originally identified as a woman and was Miss X and is now wishing to be referred to as Mr X. No actual physical transitioning at present.

No male members of staff are allowed to be present for obvious reasons.

Your thoughts?

I personally think if you wish to be addressed as a male you should be respectful and not be present during a procedure with a female child.

Doesn't mater how one identifies
It's a matter of biology and if the child is comfortable with it being present

@pdockal If it's stated in a care plan two females present and one identifies as a male that's going against the policy. Parents have a say when it comes to personal care.

The parents should always have control over their child and who's present
