We’re overjoyed to hear that the Tavistock has won its appeal in the Bell v Tavistock case. Today’s outcome will be a huge relief for trans young people and their families, as well as the wider trans community!! 🎉♥️
This deeply unsettling case - which debated whether puberty blockers could be prescribed to under-18s with gender dysphoria - has caused many trans young people and their families enormous distress, and left young people in limbo without vital healthcare support.
This judgement must be a turning point for NHS and the Government in addressing trans people’s healthcare. It's for doctors - not courts - to decide if a young person can make an informed choice about their medical care.
It's time that the NHS and Department for Health take urgent action to address the unacceptable waiting lists facing trans young people, and ensure that all trans and questioning young people can get high quality care, when they need it.
