Funding of nearly £11 million has just been announced for a research study on treatments at the new children’s gender hubs, including a puberty blockers trial. We have also learned that follow-up data on outcomes for children who have been through the Tavistock GIDS, which the adult gender identity clinics (GICs) refused to share, was […] The post Was a puberty blockers trial ever ethical? appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more

On Wednesday the Women and Equalities Select Committee (WESC) held what they described as an ‘evidence session’ on the use of puberty blockers. We will give the first word to Keira Bell who attended the hearing to be a witness to what was said about the medical ‘treatment’ that harmed her: It is now clearer […] The post WESC hearing on puberty blockers – distorting the evidence appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more

This post is about our correspondence with IICSA, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. When we initially contacted them in 2019 our rationale was that if the government was too scared to challenge the trans lobby, maybe the inquiry wouldn’t be. Now is a timely opportunity to publish and reflect on our correspondence with […] The post IICSA and safeguarding concerns appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more

The Court of Appeal has handed down judgment today that the previous judgment to dismiss proceedings once a child turned 16 was wrong. In the case of Child Q, where the child wanted cross-sex hormones from private clinic Gender Plus but the mother opposed this treatment, proceedings will now be adjourned until the result of […] The post Child Q case: significant win for mother in Court of Appeal appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more

We have long been concerned about the impact of schools trans policies on two specific groups of children: the siblings and the children of trans parents. These two groups are routinely ignored in schools trans guidance. The celebrations, the trans flags, the teaching of ‘gender identity’ as fact, the coercion of children to ‘be kind’ […] The post What is the impact of schools trans policies on children of trans parents? appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more

Like Index on Censorship (IoC), we are against censorship and book banning – Transgender Trend has never called for it and would oppose any groups or individuals doing so. So we were surprised to see our well-researched piece on trans picture books mentioned in this context in an article entitled Banned: school librarians shushed over […] The post Is there censorship of trans books in school libraries? appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more

The Cass Review final report has driven a coach and horses through ‘gender affirming care’ practice in the NHS,  exposing the inbuilt negligence in a model of care that affirms a child’s belief without question. The Cass Review is not a sociological analysis. Dr Cass stays within a clear remit: The Review is cognisant of […] The post The gender affirming model in schools – what does Cass tell us? appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more

Activist GPs are offering ‘affirmative gender care’ and bridging prescriptions for hormones. With no age limits on who can attend these special clinics, we’re concerned that once 18 young people will be able to access cross-sex hormones without any oversight. Shelley Charlesworth looks at just one of these clinics, The Bridge clinic in south London, […] The post ‘Affirmative gender care’ at The Bridge clinic appeared first on Transgender Trend ..read more
