🦎 Genspect are thrilled to announce that we are hosting a webinar for Detransition Awareness Day, this year on 12th March, 6pm GMT!

We’re platforming detransitioners from across the globe, sharing their own stories and experiences with gender
🦎We are thrilled that our webinar last year went so well that we managed to put the money we raised from Detrans Awareness Day into launching our 'Beyond Transition' initiative.

Over a hundred detransitioners have already benefited from the Beyond Transition service.
🦎The detransitioner community is growing faster than ever, with unprecedented coverage in the news and media this last year, with more young people realising they received inadequate healthcare.

🇬🇧"My assumption would be that the Trust would take this complaint extremely seriously...

"...they didn't want to do any such thing. They wanted to bury the concerns"

Former Tavistock Consultant Psychotherapist Marcus Evans speaks out on @SkyNewsAust

"Gender Identify Disorder Services took a medical approach to what I, and many others see, as a psychological problem"
"A group of clinicians with the GIDS raised serious concerns about the way that the services was functioning "

"At the same time, a group of parents had written a letter to the Trust board raising similar concerns."
