Male or Female?
In our society, we used to consider acceptable only two models of sex: MALE and FEMALE Depending on the outward By behavior. . . By gender stereotypes are associated. . .
Male or Female?
In most of cases children, growing, recognize themselves in their biological sex and develop their gender identity in a consistent manner with it, learning in social contexts behaviors and attitudes appropriate to express and affirm their gender role with others.
There is a minority of childs, boys and girls living a complete disharmony between the biological aspects and gender identity with constant and dramatic awareness of belonging to the opposite gender They are ‘normal people by a chromosomal, hormonal and somatic poit of view.
“Children and kids raise questions about nature of their normality or health” To most of them are asked to comply and are rarely included in an appropriate manner This is a condition that tests the ability of tolerance of those around them They have unique and peculiar beliefs about themselves and are distinguished by their strangeness and to be beyond the common understanding. al di là della comune capacità di comprensione.
THEIR DIVERSITY ü Should be considered abnormal, pathological, as something that must be changed, uprooted or "treated"? OR ü Must be regarded as a manifestation of an evolutionary process peculiar to understand protect and to which we must adapt?

SOME CONSIDERATION… ü In Italy there are no guidelines about hormone treatment in children and adolescents with atypical gender identity organization ü We are going to make a review of the S. I. A. M. S. O. N. I. G. CONSENSUS, focusing on the possibility of treating young people after the authorization by their mental health professionals and after the beginning of pubertal development, according to the Endocrine Society Guidelines.
SOME CONSIDERATION… ü Furthermore, from a psychological treatment point of view, in Italy it’s not easy to find a public center that take care of family therapy or a public centre having experience with children and adolescents with atypical gender identity organization.
