NHS England will test all children who consider themselves autistic, as Baroness Cass reviewed the gender identity of young people last year.
The move is a greater likelihood that a mental health condition appears in children who say they have gender irritability in CASS reviews.
According to the Telegraph, medical staff will evaluate each child’s mental health, relationships with their family and their sexual development.
Part of the analysis also included whether they experienced homosexual attraction.
The new guide will be released before it is implemented later this year.
It will be used by children’s gender clinics in London and Manchester in early 2025 after Cass gave the green light.
A NHS spokesman said: “As part of NHS England’s commitment to implementing the CASS review recommendation, we recently conducted stakeholder testing on the proposed revised norms for the interim service norms for gender services for children and young people.
“We will soon conduct a comprehensive public consultation on this draft norm, which provides for the new overall evaluation framework described by Cas in her report.
“NHS England has recently changed the referral route so pediatric patients are only able to access gender services and we will entrust them to commission if they refer them to them.”
An equal chief said this month that it was after news that women were banned from entering women’s bathrooms and exercise — as lawyers advised them to use disabled bathrooms at work.
The Supreme Court’s ruling is that in the Equality Act, women are defined as biological gender-based trans women who mean that they have a Gender Identification Certificate (GRC), and if “proportionate”, they can exclude single-gender space from single-role space.
Baroness Kishwer Falkner, chairman of the Equal and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), called the ruling a “great result” and vowed to pursue organizations that did not update their policies.
