"Apart perhaps from life-saving treatment, there will be no more profound medical decisions for children than whether to start on this treatment pathway." #KeiraBell

The grown-ups have entered the room, thank God.
"There is a real benefit in the court, almost certainly with a child’s guardian appointed, having oversight over the decision."
"As we have explained above, we consider this treatment to be one where the protective role of the court is appropriate."

"Gender dysphoria or GD is a condition where persons experience distress because of a mismatch between their perceived identity and their natal sex, that is, their sex at birth. Such persons have a strong desire to live according to their perceived identity..."
"...rather than their natal sex." Notice no mention of 'assigned sex/gender' nonsense 💪

The only times the judgement refers to 'assigned gender' is when quoting the DMS-5 and the NHS contract 💪

Gender GP are outraged by the GIDS statement that yesterday's judgement applies to all PB/CSH treatment administered to under 16s in England & Wales. They say it doesn't apply to them, and they only treat where "benefits outweigh risks" in any case. This is followed by: 1/2 Image
2/2 "Our goal is that no young trans person will have to experience a puberty that doesn’t align with their gender identity".

Hmm, doesn't sound like the risks are given much weight then, does it. Image
This page is a complete car crash 😠

About puberty: "...drastic changes that are about to happen, scary, irreversible, major body changes that will change their androgynous child self into a very stereotypical male or female adult." 'Stereotypical'😡

If you read this judgement and come to the conclusion that Keira Bell lost ("in old money"🙄), then that is a sign of desparation and burying your head in the sand.
And it’s not the fox slayer saying that.
