This week we meet the primary schoolgirl who was born a boy. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
And we find out why Lawrence of Arabia came to live | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Welcome to Inside Out. I'm Paul Hudson. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Tonight, how old he have to be to decide your future? | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
We meet the nine-year-old who was born | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
It just matters that you, you, are who | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Also tonight, we followed the GPs train to care for | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
elderly patients at home as the local hospital | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
There's got to be a much bigger acknowledgement of the need to | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
properly fund and properly resource and properly integrate health and | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
And, later in the programme, how and why historic | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
legend Lawrence of Arabia came to live here in Bridlington. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
He used to take these little marine craft out | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
into the bay and he'd let the aircraft, and bomb him. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
And, so, he was just like a sitting duck in the | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
The number of children referred to Yorkshire's gender ID | :01:13. | :01:27. | |
Heidi Tomlinson has spent the last six months with a nine-year-old | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Amber, who was born a boy but wants to become a girl. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Her parents have agreed to this film to help raise awareness of this most | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
It's June and eight-year-old Amber has an appointment | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Do you want to show me your extensions? | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
You're hoping that those might go in so your hair's a bit longer? | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
I think they might be for dressing up and to make her feel | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
when she needs a girly day but I don't think | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
She wants to look like a girl despite being a boy physically. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Are you excited about having a new style? | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Her mum Becky says she's too young to wear it regularly. | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
Do you know, I never realised how long your lashes were. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
I never realised how wrong they were. | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
Tomorrow she goes to school as a girl for the first time. | :02:23. | :02:34. | |
I think you look really glam. You look gorgeous. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Amber was born Nicholas, the youngest of three boys. | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
Amber was living a lie. She was playing the part of a son. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
She was playing the role that she saw from her brothers. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
And she was filling that boy role through their guidance. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
At a very eary stage she became obsessed | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
She watched a programme about drag queens | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
I didn't want to be a drag queen any more. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
So, I told my mum, can I be a boy again? | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
And, then, I remember saying, "What is transgender?" | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
Her parents say she was a girl trapped in a boy's body. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
It's not about what anybody else thinks. | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
It's not about what they deem better for my child. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
It's me and everybody else who has to run to catch up. | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
How convinced are you that Amber will stay as a girl now? | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
From day one, she wasn't as the other boys were. | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
She had got a feminine side to her, more than anything. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
She wanted to do the cleaning, she wanted to do dolls, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
But but my mind is, like, pulling me to one side and my other | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
The one on the left is saying, being a boy. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
The other one is saying, being a girl. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
The big day arrives, Amber will go to school as a girl. | :04:27. | :04:43. | |
Do you know what you're going to do if you need the loo? | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Today classmates will call her Amber instead of Nicholas. | :04:50. | :05:03. | |
Last term there was a special assembly about Amber's | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Her friends have promised to support her although she has been | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
The best bit is the kids referring to her as Amber. | :05:17. | :05:29. | |
The teachers have come up to her and said hello. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Very positive reaction from the teachers. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
I think I need to go home and bawl my eyes out. | :05:39. | :05:54. | |
It's been an emotional time at home, too. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Amber's teenage brothers have both found the change hard to accept. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
It just came to have it when I was in tears. | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
It was just too hard for me to think about. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
She said that she wanted to be a girl. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
I thought she was too young to understand. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
When she wanted to change her name to Amber that | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
It come to a bit where she just said, "Mum, | :06:23. | :06:37. | |
And I was just eaTing something at the time | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
I went in tears. I just walked away. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
Amber's parents are separated but they are united | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
And people think it's a neglect type of thing. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
You're forcing it on to her, that poor child. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
It's come from the child herself. It's nothing to do with us. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Strong friendships give Amber confidence but there have been some | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
One of them said, are you going to die your hair, I said no. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Another said, are you going to get married | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
She's changed in her personality by doing like things like she's | :07:12. | :07:24. | |
getting more confident and stuff that she is doing. | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
Usually, she wouldn't really wear jewellery when she was a boy | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
but now she's a girl, she wears much more jewellery. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
A few months after transition, Amber celebrates her ninth | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
birthday with afternoon tea, one of her favourite things. | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
You're not allowed to just fill your plate up with paper, either. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
But eating's become an issue, she thinks putting on weight | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
Hiding food. It's not good, is it? | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
Puberty is getting closer as each year goes by. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
She's keen to take hormone blockers to delay the obvious | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
It's something they've discussed with psychologists at the gender | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
Of the blockers, I think that is something that would be, | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
if this is something that Amber definitely wants, that's come | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
at a certain stage of development, she has to go through a certain | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
If that changes down the line and she wants to keep continuing, | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
We don't want to do something to early, | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
Can you imagine yourself as a teenager? | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
If I'm not an blockers, I'll be all bulky, all manly, like. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
And then, at night, I'll be trying to pray, saying, | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
We've been filming Amber for six months. | :08:54. | :09:08. | |
The family wanted us to tell their story to encourage | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
acceptance and understanding of transgender children. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
I am aware of a lot of people's views. | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
Been called disgusting and everything else and, | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
realistically, I think those people need to just step outside | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
their little box, their judgmental box and realise that | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
transgender people are, you know, humans. | :09:43. | :09:43. | |
Have you given Amber too much freedom? | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
That is something that I tear myself up about. | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
I've just got to do the best that I can | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
with the information available to me. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
She's so much more brighter and confident than what | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Do you think your too young to make your mind up about this? | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
It isn't like something bad's going to happen. | :10:15. | :10:30. | |
It just matters that you are who you want to be. | :10:31. | :10:47. | |
And, don't forget, if you've got any views on tonight's programme, | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
or you've got a story you think we might like to cover, | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
you can get in touch on Facebook or on Twitter. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Why Lawrence of Arabia came to live here | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
to close a Community Hospital in the Peak District | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
they realised they wouldn't be popular | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
but argued it would be cheaper but better | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
for some elderly patients to be cared for at home. | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
has been to one nearby GP practice that is doing | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
"It's been revealed this lunchtime that the NHS wants to close | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
two community hospitals in Derbyshire." | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Newholme hospital in Bakewell was built | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
Now health bosses say it doesn't fit into the NHS of the 21st Century. | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
The people I've spoken to in Bakewell today are shocked. | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Nearby at Baslow health centre the news has got everybody talking. | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
It's a real shame because people rely on it, | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
You know, it should be there for people. | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
I think the elderly, especially, are going to be quite devastated. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
But some think the idea of moving care out of hospital | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
and into people's homes is a good one. | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
I think it sounds marvellous if people | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
People are so passionate about Newholme | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
Because it's been around for 150 years. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Just about anybody you speak to around here will have had either | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
a member of the family work in the hospital | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
or be admitted to the hospital. | :12:46. | :12:46. | |
It's just health economics, isn't it? | :12:47. | :12:47. | |
We've got an older, frailer population. | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
The evidences, keeping people out of hospital is better for them. | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
We have downward pressure on our finances. | :12:53. | :12:53. | |
It is absolutely essential for us to do things differently. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
For us to be ready to meet the needs of | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
So how easy is it to care for patients at home? | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
Today Dr Jordan's been called to visit Jill James, | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
an elderly patient with dementia who's at risk | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
We're going to see a lady who's | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
met her before and she's 79 and she's got a chest infection. | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
I gather from your daughter that you're | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
Have you had anything to eat or drink today? | :13:38. | :13:52. | |
She's very breathless. Her oxygen sacs are low. | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
The temperature is high. And she has got a chest infection. | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
We've got a couple of choices that they are not easy choices. | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
I was obviously quite shocked at how unwell Jill was. | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
Quickly try to assess, is this appropriate to go into hospital? | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Which, unquestionably, it would have been. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
Or is this someone we can try and manage at home which was clearly | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Hello, it's Doctor Jordan from Baslow surgery. | :14:21. | :14:32. | |
I wonder if you can help me with some IV fluids and | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
antibiotics to help a lady at home, please. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
I shall now call the on-call microbiologist at Chesterfield | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
To move Jill into a hospital bed would cost hundreds | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
Putting a jigsaw of home care in place is cheaper | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
You're having to be a conductor of a very large orchestra. | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
You're having to try and get lots of services in very quickly. | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Good afternoon, central access point. | :14:57. | :14:57. | |
Hello, Kate, it's Doctor Jordan. Calling from Baslow surgery here. | :14:58. | :15:07. | |
I was wondering if... Hello, Doctor Jordan. | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
I was wondering if you could help me support a lady to stay at home, | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
who's quite elderly and unwell at the moment. | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
Five phone calls later carers and antibiotics are on their way. | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
Louise is sure keeping Jill out of hospital | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
It would have taken one phone called to admit | :15:21. | :15:38. | |
her into hospital and in our time-poor job, that so easy to do. | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
But, just that little bit of extra effort | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
We're going to have to follow that up tomorrow, | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
but it's the right thing to do for that | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Newholme hospital has cared for patients | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
Elderly patients come here to get | :16:01. | :16:15. | |
back on their feet with the help of specialist teams. | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
The clinical commissioning group now wants those teams to visit people | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
at home instead ? and they're asking the public what they think. | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
But it's not just about specialists - | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
doctors are worried, if the hospital closes, | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
who will feed and wash vulnerable patients | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Very specifically, we don't have enough carers | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
Social services cuts It won't be able to step | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
up to give the extra care that is needed | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
83-year-old Peter Warin hasn't been eating properly | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Very scared. He had a bleeding head wound. | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
When he was weighed, when he was admitted, he was 40 kilos. | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
It was Newholme that has allowed him | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
to rebuild his strength, giving him the right diet | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
Oh, it's wonderful. The food is marvellous. | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
Well, the number of people here who need care | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
A Community Hospital is very, very important. | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
Particularly with such an ageing population. | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
It's more than a month since Dr Jordan put in | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
For weeks the family have been visited daily by nurses, | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
It's just a miracle what's happened to mum. | :17:57. | :18:07. | |
She is almost back to her normal self and she'll be able to carry on | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
We've got lots of things we want to do still. | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
Those hanging baskets are nice. When did you get those? | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
It's a good quality of life she's got back to. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
I haven't got a cough, at all. No. | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
The best local response, really, is to | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
I'll lie in front if a bulldozer comes. | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
Meanwhile, in Bakewell, after a series of public meetings | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
All the feedback that we get | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
from the general public will be | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
An announcement is expected in the next few weeks. | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
Down the road in Matlock some health staff have already moved | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
from Newholme so they're in the same building as social services. | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
There's a lot of repetition between health and social care, | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
so being based in same office will hopefully | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
and more elderly patients, it's all part of a bigger picture. | :19:14. | :19:26. | |
It's really clear that for a sustainable future | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
for an increasingly elderly population there's got to be proper | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
acknowledgment of the need to properly fund and properly | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Now, I've been on the trail of one of the greatest British heroes of | :19:38. | :19:53. | |
A man who made his name in the sands of Arabia | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
and his story has been told in films and in many books. | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
But, did you know, before his death, he came to live | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
In 1934, a passenger arrived here in Bridlington train station. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
He was one of Britain's most famous men. | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
But he had an assumed name to try and avoid being identified. | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
He was better known as Lawrence of Arabia. | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
The new arrival was an international celebrity | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Nearly a hundred years later, Lawrence is still remembered | :20:29. | :20:40. | |
in films and books for his role in leading an Arab rebellion | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
What, in your opinion, did these people hope | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
These days in Bridlington, only a few clues survive | :20:49. | :21:04. | |
He came because he'd started a new life, under an assumed name, | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Aircraftsman Shaw, To give him his adopted name, has | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
always been a difficult man to photograph, ever since his war | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
exploits made him the uncrowned King of Arabia. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
For more than ten years, Lawrence had been pursued by the Press. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
When he arrived back in Britain in 1929, he wanted to evade | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
the public spotlight by joining the marine branch of the RAF. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
My search begins in Bridlington library, where I'm finding evidence | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
It's very obvious just looking at the collection of | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
books and newspapers here on this table but there is an awful lot of | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Absolutely. Yes. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
People were very proud of the fact that Lawrence was a part of the | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
community, not just here working but mixing with | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
them in the harbour, and in the shops. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
In a collection of newspaper cuttings, Sarah's found what looks | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
like the first public record of Lawrence's posting here, | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
It's all about what he did here in Bridlington. | :22:11. | :22:21. | |
He used to take these little marine craft out into the bay | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
So, he was just like a sitting duck in the middle of Bridlington Bay. | :22:28. | :22:39. | |
It was here in Bridlington harbour that | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Lawrence spend most of his working days. | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
He was based with the RAF in boat sheds behind me. | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
This is the only surviving footage of Lawrence's | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
which started at Hythe near Southampton | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
He was developing high speed launches for air sea rescue, | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
as well armoured boats for bomb target practice. | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
His work was a deliberate escape from the glory | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
After the Middle East, Lawrence, a quiet, reserved man, | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
enjoyed coming to a seaside resort in winter. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
Richard Knowles has researched Lawrence's RAF duties | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
Lawrence of Arabia, here in Bridlington, | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
Well, he'd have been very familiar with this sort of | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
feeling because he was here on three occasions. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
Briefly in 1932, for about a month in the summer of 1933 | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
and for a few months, towards the end of his | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
It paints a very different picture of | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
the one we all know, Lawrence of Arabia. | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
It's a very different scene to be seeing | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
Lawrence in the desert but, of course, he went through quite a | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
traumatic time, after that period, and came into the RAF and towards | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
the end of this career was very influential | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
How important to Lawrence was his work in the RAF? | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
I think he found great satisfaction | :24:19. | :24:19. | |
Which led, of course, in the Second World War to the | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
development of air sea rescue launches. | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
Using some of the technology that he'd used. | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
Now, anything which belonged to Lawrence is highly prized. | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
Richard has original hand-written notes which describe | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
Here we have a tiny fragment of paper, in | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
pencil, in Lawrence's actual hand with his signature at the bottom, | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
and this talks about type 200 number 208. | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
He goes on about it in quite some technical detail. | :24:56. | :25:05. | |
I think these logs and the letters of the period show the pride and | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
these satisfaction he got out of it. You can mirror the achievements of | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
the latter part of his career with the time in the desert. | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
So what did Lawrence really think of Bridlington? | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
Richard's got a fragment from one of his letters which gives a clue. | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
It says, post to and from Bridlington take at least two days. | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
"A Dreadful little place." On his final posting, | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
Lawrence stayed at what used This is the room he stayed in during | :25:39. | :25:51. | |
that last visit. It's changed massively. One thing that hasn't | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
changed is the view of the harbour. In fact, most of the time, | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
Lawrence liked Bridlington. He was in a melancholy mood because | :25:57. | :26:06. | |
he wasn't looking forward to retirement from the RAF. He wrote, | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
have you ever felt like a leaf that has fallen from a tree in autumn. He | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
was in that kind of mood. But he spent the time in the room behind is | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
writing letters to his famous friends. | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
He was supposed to be an ordinary aircraftsman. | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
But here he wrote to leading politicians,, | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
He talks about the waves coming up the beach like lions. It was a quiet | :26:30. | :26:44. | |
place here in winter. It's quite bleak in winter. Even on a day like | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
this. He also writes that it's a place that there are not many people | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
about in winter. He talks of just cats and landladies husbands to keep | :26:56. | :26:56. | |
him company. In a lock-up garage behind | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
the hotel, Lawrence It was to play a tragic part | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
in what happened to him It was against this harbour wall, | :27:02. | :27:14. | |
possibly, that the last two photographs of him were taken. He | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
was on a push bike, leaning against the wall, just before ten o'clock in | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
the morning. So the man who was photographed so many times, the last | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
known photograph was against a wall in Bridlington. He cycled down in | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
due course and then in May 1935, he was tragically killed. What was he | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
really like? Eighty years after his death, | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
the legend of Lawrence lives on ? He was a very great man. He was a | :27:53. | :28:04. | |
poet, a scholar and a mighty warrior. He was also the most | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
shameless exhibitionist since Parliament and Bailey. There are no | :28:10. | :28:18. | |
camels and I'm not going to the desert so we've got Bridlington | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
beach and, come on, Molly. We can do it. | :28:24. | :28:41. | |
Whoa! Whoa!. I've had enough now. That's it from others in Costa Del | :28:42. | :28:55. | |
Bridlington. Joined as next week. We'll be talking about the battle to | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
protect red squirrels in the Yorkshire Dales. | :28:59. | :29:04. |
