@mikeroscoe67 @NotRightRuth 1/ Completely untrue. What benefit is there for you in such lies?

The pressure was from medical ethics in the light of what became obvious after GIDS responded to the lead of their 🌍 medical peers & peer clinics.

In 2009 the veteran gender expert Prof Richard Green, recently…
@mikeroscoe67 @NotRightRuth 2/…retired head of the world's largest adult GIC - London's Charing Cross - was so disgusted🔗 at the psychoanalytically-based pediatric clinic, GIDS' stubborn refusal to prevent the harm he had seen to those arriving at adult clinics…

@trans_mum @mimmymum @AlexSharpe64 And now it's the only reason for court involvement everywhere but 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, since the 🇦🇺 Family Court finally, 2yrs ago, revoked the last remnant of their ruling brought in with the help of GIDS' di Ceglie that every step be court authorised by re-enabling parental consent
@trans_mum @mimmymum @AlexSharpe64 Why didn't 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 pediatric gender clinic GIDS defend its adolescent patients' interests against their care being put under court control by citing 🇦🇺 jurisprudence revoking such control & allowing parental consent? Because GIDS wants to continue its denial of parental consent.
@trans_mum @mimmymum @AlexSharpe64 Why has 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 pediatric gender clinic GIDS denied its adolescent patients the right of their parents to consent, as in all other medical care? Because it enables GIDS to deny the 🌍 recommended provision of "blockers" as soon as puberty starts (possibly from 8yo in AFAB, 9 in AMAB) ImageImageImage

@73inlancs @janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 1/ The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 government decided pediatric gender care in England would be a monopoly contract (a Labour minister, in 2008), despite all other NHS patients officially being entitled to a choice of providers, & second opinions on diagnoses & treatment, & gave it to GIDS, which has…
@73inlancs @janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 2/…always advocated that trans minors & their families must have no alternative source of care, & subsequent Tory ministers have personally put their signature on renewals of it, and even personally rejected proposals for improvement that have been put forward by NHS England…
@73inlancs @janethooton_ @ErinInTheMorn @fifi_EY 3/…as a result of wider & public consultation.

@Quibilah1 @NyssaDogFriend @tomgabion 1/ Worse than that. She was before agonists started being provided during puberty (written endo policy then was nothing until puberty was completed) so her assessment didn't use the 🇳🇱 written, globally standardised diagnostic tools🖼that GIDS's peer clinics had been using for…
@Quibilah1 @NyssaDogFriend @tomgabion 2/…years & which GIDS trialed in their "audit" (which was never about the attributes of the agonists) & then adopted.

Worse yet, the case was started by a psychoanalyst who left GIDS even further back (2004) who claims GIDS were referring to endo too quickly even then.
@Quibilah1 @NyssaDogFriend @tomgabion 3/ In fact, back then, GIDS's endo provided nothing. Their function was to scare families who were too pushy/sure (in GIDS' opinion). In Di Ceglie's 1998 book the endo says she advised that post-medical transition, sexual release was impossible.

She & her fellow analyst…

@NyssaDogFriend @tomgabion @Quibilah1 As I understand it the case demands that Tavi (that's adult & minors') stop medical treatment & provide psychoanalysis. If that were granted, even pending appeal, it could have devastating effects.

I don't trust GIDS/Tavi/NHS an inch to defend the case to the optimum.
@NyssaDogFriend @tomgabion @Quibilah1 The case law (NW Lancashire judgment) is NHS trans treatment must not be restricted to talking, must be by individual clinical need (not grouped), & hormones & surgery must be available. It doesn't specify a minimum age. Obviously, GIDS has always ignored that so won't use it
@NyssaDogFriend @tomgabion @Quibilah1 The Gillick doctrine is backed up by UNCRC. But the England Children's Commissioner, responsible for enforcing that, will not support trans treatment. Neither will the UK pediatric or endocrine professional bodies. Psychiatric one might, if their involvement was required.

@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS So much misinformation in one article! How odd that the US Dr Greene thinks she's discovered so much about treating us when we've been around, post-transition for 70yrs!

I hope all doctors know to not place us on records as 3rd gender without specific, informed, written consent
@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS It is not just that passing a medical history of trans on to other medical staff when it is irrelevant is "stigmatising"; many cannot be trusted with it because their UK professional bodies refuse to incorporate our care in their resources, so they can panic & mistreat patients
@drkamillak @BBCFutureMedia @BBC @ZariaGorvett @PrimaryCareNHS The one cited trans patient himself is explicit about that very danger🖼- "let me focus upon your trans identity rather than your kidney disease" - yet the article, & the doctors cited, sail on regardless
