Sajid Javid to review gender treatment for children
Health Secretary Sajid Javid is to review what immediate changes can be made to gender treatment services for children in England. This could include changing the law to let the independent Cass review have access to an NHS database of young people who already received treatment. ...Mr Javid told MPs services in this area were too affirmative and narrow, and "bordering on ideological". He is now thought to be planning an overhaul of the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), which is run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, with clinics in London and Leeds.
Good for him. Finally some of these politicians are showing a backbone, now that they have political and cultural cover.
“For most young people, a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress. For those young people for whom a medical pathway is clinically indicated, it is not enough to provide this without also addressing wider mental health and/or psychosocially challenging problems”
For "most" ? that is an understatement. Now how about criminally charging those "health professionals" who allowed the mutilation of children in the name of misogynistic ideology ? This should never happen again.
