Well my evidence is that Tavistock has been reported as a “conveyor belt to puberty blockers” and high levels of encouragement for surgery, as well as basing these interventions on poor or no research.

My claim was that social and political pressure from trans activists has created an environment where decisions are made not on the best medical information and what is right for an individual, but instead, there is an idiological environment that encourages medical intervention.

Is that not exactly what has been reported?

There is a reluctance by people in this thread to acknowledge that one of the flagship NHS gender practices may be operating in a way that pushes children into hormone and surgery interventions- this is despite thorough investigation by the NHS regulator, independent journalists, and many patients and doctors coming forward.

It looks an awful lot like people have decided that any criticism or anything related to transgender issues or trans activism must be transphobia.

Evidence for you below, or check out any number of articles on Tavistock

What bills are you referring to?

I am not anti-trans, and think that people should have access to care and treatment if needed.

But it is undeniable that there are elements of ideology shaping the medical practice which I think should remain separate.

Well if you read about Tavistock you’ll see that children came to harm because of political pressure from trans activists.

I support trans rights unequivocally, but it is completely reasonable to challenge and scrutinise the process and systems in place around transitioning considering it’s long term effects.

Seems to me like his only mistake is levelling reasoned criticism against the quite aggressive trans rights activists that seem to have a disproportionate amount of influence over policy...
