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.

Children need to be free to live they change their minds all the time. One week my child likes one item to eat the next week she can't stand it. A child is not able to make an informed decision that will affect the rest of their life. Parents who take what a child says one time when they're 5 years old and develops the rest of their life around that decision is child abuse. Let the child grow up when the child reaches 18 if they want to be chemically castrated and mutilate their genitalia that's their decision you can't take out a loan until you're 18. You can't get a tattoo till you're 18. You can't go off and fighting wars through conscript unless you're 18. So why are we letting people who are under the age of reason determine whether they get chemically castrated and their body mutilated through chemicals at such a young age.
