We salute the bravery of #KeiraBell & Mrs A in bringing the case. We applaud years of hard work & high level research by Stephanie Davies-Arai @Transgendertrd. The importance of that work was recognised by @JudiciaryUK when TT were permitted to make an intervention at court 1/9

We quote: "The court granted Transgender Trend permission to intervene on the basis that we had introduced new evidence that was potentially relevant to the case. The submissions from both @stonewalluk & @Mermaids_Gender were judged on exactly the same grounds", 2/9

"and they were refused permission on the basis that they had either repeated evidence already before the court in witness statements, or that the evidence they submitted was irrelevant to the case". 3/9

"The difference between our submissions was that our evidence was based on reality and facts, whereas the submissions from Stonewall and Mermaids were based on a political and ideological view of children as ‘transgender’". 4/9

"This raises serious issues about why these lobby groups have been allowed to influence our health service so radically, causing harm to so many children. The Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust is a Stonewall Diversity Champion, as is the Care Quality Commission" 5/9

"who judged the Tavistock service ‘good’. A senior clinician at the GIDS was a member of Gendered Intelligence, a lobby group the GIDS has worked with. GIRES has produced training resources for the Royal College of General Practitioners". 6/9

"All these groups promote the ideology of ‘gender identity’, none are qualified doctors or clinicians. On the basis of the landmark judgment handed down in court today, the government needs to take action to remove all transgender guidance and resources from schools" 7/9

"and social services departments to safeguard children and prevent any further teaching of this ideology to children as ‘fact’. The Health Secretary must take steps to curb the influence of these lobby groups and eliminate ideology from medical theory and practice". 8/9

"Govt depts, health bodies & schools must cancel their membership of Stonewall Diversity Champions scheme." We agree. Those most harmed by gender identity theory are children - especially those who do not fit outdated gender stereotypes & may well grow up LGB #FactsMatter 9/9
