Dr Bernadette Wren told the Sunday Times she thinks it's all happening too fast. This is an accessible link.

Three year olds being referred to a gender clinic. I could cry for those poor kids.

She works there and she's worried about it.

She must know what kind of vicious backlash is going to descend on her after that article, so I think that shows just how worried she really is.

Thanks for sharing. Blimey. She works there and she's worried about it. I don't know how to interpret that. I suppose at least there is some thinking going on about whether this is the right direction. This clinic leaves me very uneasy. And I'm continually astonished that the Tavistock trust, with its huge reputation is involved in giving hormones to children and seemingly not thinking about gender identity from a social and psychological perspective.

What an excellent article. The lack of data on follow up is particularly concerning.
