This television programme links to a recent grant made to GIRES - the Gender Identity Research and Education Society. The award funds the development of good practice guidelines for the administration of hormonal medication in the treatment of adolescents dealing with gender identity issues. A supplementary grant contributed towards the costs of an international symposium on the issue.
