Sorry if this has already been covered in other threads but I was looking at at a London based Charity called Spectra’s website- they run support groups for ‘trans’ children and teenagers.
They have issued a statement about the Tavistock ruling and I find it quite disturbing. They advocate for medicalisation through puberty blockers and completely ignore any of the facts about the possible harm they can do and refer to them as ‘lifesaving:’
Consenting to hormone blockers – a treatment which is entirely reversible and has been widely researched and used for three decades – is something which should come under Gillick competency.

My main point is that in the websites transgender medication and resource section it advises children that they can get a bridging subscription of hormone blockers from their gp if they cite mental health issues.
They seem to be encouraging children to get around the ruling by claiming that they feel suicidal in order to push GP’s into prescribing puberty blockers.
They have no medical training yet are giving children advice that is so blinded by the ideology that the only future that they see for the children is to continue down the path of medicalisation, whether it is legal or not.
