I haven't found a link to an actual video or audio of the talk but there are lots of interesting tweets about a talk she has given today on gender dysphoria - apparently including reference to rapid onset gender dysphoria in adolescents and recommending Transgender Trend as a resource to a parent:

I'm very pleased to see that because what I'd seen if her on tv was concerning me (she was featured on the BBC3 programme about the transboy Leo. She seemed to be confirming everything Leo said rather than challenging him at all. Leo, at 16, was rapidly heading down a track to habing a hysterectomy at the first possible chance)

I'm pleased to see several professionals giving their opinion that caution is appropriate when treating children, in case they change their minds later.
