UK Transgender Center Closing, Being Sued - aggressive transitioning

[Yahoo] NHS gender clinic, the Tavistock Centre, could face legal action over alleged 'failings in care'

The NHS Trust responsible for the UK's only gender-identity clinic for children may face legal action over claims it "rushed" some young patients into treatment, including the use of puberty-blocking drugs.

NHS England has already ordered the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust to wind-down operations at the Tavistock Centre, also known as the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), after an independent review found it was not a "safe or viable long-term option".

But now a UK-based law firm is pursuing a group claim for clinical negligence against the Trust, amidst allegations the service "misdiagnosed" some young patients who were struggling with their gender identity.

Earlier this year, the NHS-backed Cass Review, led by paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, published its interim report which found that some health staff at the Tavistock Centre had felt under pressure to adopt "an unquestioning affirmative approach" to children presenting with gender dysphoria.

It also said the clinic was under "unsustainable pressure" due to spiralling waiting lists, and that it struggled to keep "routine and consistent data" on patients.

With the London-based centre set to fully close by spring next year, new regional centres will be set up in its place to "ensure the holistic needs' of patients are fully met, the NHS said last month.

[ZeroHedge] Tavistock, the only gender and sex change clinic in Britain, went from treating around 130 child patients per year in 2010 to treating nearly 2400 in 2021. In fact, the clinic was facing overwhelming demand for services by the time it was finally shut down, and numerous proponents of sex change treatment for children argued that MORE clinics like Tavistock would soon be needed.

What changed in the past decade? Not the percentage of people born with gender dysphoria; that would be statistically impossible. The only thing that has changed is that Trans identity politics are now a fad and young people are being specifically targeted with trans propaganda.

The controversy around Tavistock deepened in 2020, when the center was taken to court by Keira Bell, a former patient, who argued she had been too young to consent to the medical treatment overseen by the GIDS that began her female-to-male transition as a teenager. Bell won her initial case but it was overturned on appeal, with the court of appeal reaffirming the principle of Gillick competence that “it was for doctors and not judges to decide on the capacity of a person under 16 to consent to medical treatment.”

In other words, it's up to the same doctors that have a political agenda and stand to make considerable money by conning children and teens into believing they are trans. These doctors, with no science whatsoever to back their claims on gender identity, are the people that get to decide if your child needs gender affirmation drugs or surgeries in the UK.

Tavistock's shut down reaffirms the growing concerns among the public about the deceptive nature of gender ideology and the fact that children with no legitimate understanding of sexuality have been mutilated chemically and physically in the name of political cultism rather than personal health. It has been recently revealed that the clinic is also facing a massive lawsuit of at least 1000 families of former patients and the list is expanding daily.
