Imagine the NHS arguing that you can learn how to drug children “informally through self-study”🙃
Makes you wonder what those 7 yr medical degrees are for. Be cheaper to bung a few e-learning modules on the Digital College 🤷♀️
NHS England accepted that Dr Sam Hall had "no formal training in gender-identity medicine" but argued that he'd "acquired expertise informally through self-study, experience" and "from talking with other gender specialists."
This is what NHSE "accepts" for the treatment of vulnerable children. These children weren't being treated for colds.
They were being given life-changing blockers and hormones for feelings that hadn't been explored.
Cass is right. This goes much deeper than just one clinic. Full independent inquiry is needed now.
Excellent reporting as always from @hannahsbee.

This Bill poses a major threat to gay men and lesbians. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s
In the olden days, some female linguists understood what ‘girl’ does as a term. It does infantilising work:

My Dad just died in a care home
Inadequately managed for agitation & The Fear
If we ration medically qualified professionals, people in great suffering will die in great suffering. GP on day shift: great
Night nurses were: ‘chart says no’
Dad died in such fear.

Bills don't get worse in daylight, they get worse when nobody's watching.
So we're watching.
The Health Bill goes to Lords Committee from 28 October. MPs voted down single-sex wards 106 to 302. The peers are next.
We're also tracking the Draft Conversion Practices Bill and the school misogyny plan, so you don't have to.

The courts and tribunals are one of the most important arenas in which the gender wars are being fought out. And one of the most important aspects of litigation is that it happens in public.
I’m afraid I’m pretty serious about what’s likely. This is how the NHS works - especially in its upper echelons

UK state has catastrophically failed it's duty of care towards children for decades
This is all downstream from NHS adopting Di Ceglie & John Money's lie that children have a 'gender identity '
Social services, NHS, education & govt captured
Conversion Practice Bill cements it

Nearly 30 years in children and families for me. I agree with you.
Accordingly, I hope you will vote against the appallingly poorly drafted Conversion Practices Bill

De barn som transitioneras är 1) sådana som hade vuxit upp till friska homosexuella om man lämnat dem i fred 2) De som har andra psykiska och neuropsykiatriska diagnoser och borde fått vård för dem i stället för hormoner

Man who testified in court under oath that if a woman had requested same sex care he would ignore it, and go in to treat her anyway, causes upset for doing exactly what he said he would do under oath,
The person harrassing others is him.

After 18 years in children’s services, I find this deeply troubling, repeated safeguarding warnings, vulnerable children put at risk, and a doctor who says she was silenced for speaking up. This demands answers. Protecting children must be the state’s first duty. 👇🏽
🚨Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,” she told me.
The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated.
Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s GIDS.
Me for the Sunday Times…

I was reading this article and thinking "this is really good, does an amazing job of explaining a complex situation without being confusing" - and then saw the byline and realised why. Hannah is a national treasure.
