Dr. Helen Webberly (DON'T Watch) - 4 Years Old Can DECIDE Their Own Sex

Dr Helen Webberley shocks Andrew Gold with one of her most controversial views — that children as young as four can understand and express their gender identity. In this intense and often uncomfortable exchange, Andrew challenges Webberley on the implications of this belief, the science behind it, and the real-world impact on families and society.

This conversation dives straight into one of the most heated questions in modern culture: How young is “too young” to make decisions about gender? Webberley argues that children can show strong, consistent signs of their gender identity before the age of five — a position that has sparked fierce debate across the UK, especially following NHS reforms, Cass Review findings, and increasing concerns about safeguarding.

Andrew pushes her on the practical consequences of this view. What does it mean for parents, schools and doctors? Should a four-year-old be taken seriously when expressing a desire to socially or medically transition? And how do we balance compassion for distressed children with the need to protect them from decisions they may not fully understand?

Webberley, who previously ran GenderGP and has faced regulatory battles with the GMC, stands firmly by her interpretation of childhood gender development. Andrew challenges her on detransitioners, long-term risks, psychological frameworks, and whether adult political beliefs are being projected onto children. The clash exposes the deep divide between gender-affirming clinicians and those who argue for stricter safeguarding.

This debate is not about attacking individuals, but about interrogating the ideas shaping one of the most sensitive issues of our time. Andrew presses for clarity, definitions and evidence, pushing Webberley to defend a position many find deeply concerning.

Whether you strongly agree or strongly disagree, this is a debate that lays bare the stakes: child welfare, parental responsibility, medical ethics and the future of gender medicine in the UK.
