Trans kids need protection
And his bank account identifies as a trans kid
The NHS’s most senior adviser on transgender health refused to share data about his clinic’s patients with the Cass Review.
Dr Derek Glidden of the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health refused to share patient data
Another man who works at The Nottingham Centre and has played a big role in the scandal of medicalizing young people with sex/gender confusion and distress is Walter Bouman. His profile from the centre's website:
Dr Walter Bouman (Pronouns: he/him/his) MD MA MSc UKCPreg PhD, Consultant in Trans Healthcare
Dr Bouman, who has been with the Centre since 2007, is the past President of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and in charge of translating the WPATH Standards of Care version 8 in 25 languages.
[Bouman] is also the Editor-In-Chief of the International Journal of Transgender Health (IJTH), one of the leading academic journals in trans health [and the official journal of WPATH].
Dr Bouman has published widely in transgender health and is the co-author/co-editor of Gender Dysphoria and Gender Incongruence (with Dr Annelou de Vries and Professor Guy T’Sjoen), The Transgender Handbook - A Guide For Transgender People, their Families and Professionals (with Professor Jon Arcelus), Genderqueer and Non-binary Genders (with Dr Christina Richards and Dr Meg-John Barker), and Non-Binary and Genderqueer Genders (with Professor Joz Motmans and Dr Timo Nieder).
As a patient, you may see him for first or second assessments, or when getting surgery recommendations or hormone advice. In his spare time, Dr Bouman enjoys travelling.

IMO, the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health and its staff past and present all need to be investigated.
Refusal to share data is a huge armada of wildly waving red flags. Either they don't have the appropriate clinically required data, the data they have clearly shows no improvement or consistent worsening with "treatment", they lost a significant number of patients to follow up, their records are poorly kept or look suspiciously falsified, or there is evidence for legal charges against them.
