The Science Museum is set to alter its Boy or Girl? exhibition following complaints over its 'lack of mention of transgender.'
The exhibition covers subjects such as hormones and chromosomes, and will be changed to 'update [the] non-inclusive narrative.'
The London-based museum confirmed plans to review its Who Am I? gallery after internal documents claimed the display had been criticised over an alleged lack of transgender representation.
Items in the exhibition include a fake penis, to be worn under clothing, so someone can appear as a male. The exhibit is designed with reference to feelings of 'being born in the wrong body.'
Documents seen by the Daily Telegraph claim the museum was 'taking action to consult the Museum of Transology' over the display.
Maya Forstater, executive director of campaign group Sex Matters, said: "The Science Museum should reflect biology.”
'It is concerning that a place dedicated to science is being swayed by cultural trends in this way.'
The Boy or Girl? exhibition has previously removed a sign that read 'your X and Y chromosomes define your biological sex' in 2016.
The Science Museum has said that the review would 'take into account new scientific and curatorial research and visitor feedback.'
