A judicial review is a legal course of action whereby someone can challenge a decision of a public body on the grounds that it is unfair, illegal or irrational. Court doesn't look at the merits, but the process and legality of the policy.
Issue at heart of the case was consent, whether informed consent in the legal sense can be given. Court found children under the age of 18 do not have capacity to give informed consent, children under 13 never, older children need to apply to court of protection.

Selina Todd now on Ideology and Academia. We are in a state where there is a great deal of fear around raising questions in UK universities, in relation to women as a sex. Threats, de-platforming, accusations of transphobia. Institutional policies strengthen their hand.

Starting a new thread for the afternoon of this important conference. Now we have Clinical Perspectives and the first speaker is Lisa Marchiano @LisaMarchiano.

We require a shared sense of reality. What happens when we abandon this shared sense of reality? When we become unmoored from reality?
Lisa tells the story of Maya, a detransitioner. At 14 Maya announced to her mother she was trans, after looking online. It's a fairly typical story. Testosterone was offered at first appt, Maya dropped out of college, mental health deteriorated, hospitalised twice. Stopped T.
