This is really, really disturbing:

This isn't sensible NHS doctors who are training or advising professionals to do this, based on firm evidence.

This is adult transactivists such as this transwoman:

Hasn't Tara Hewitt also been attacking the NHS GIDS clinic currently, for trying to have an evidence-based discussion?

This was what brought me here originally. I was rubbing shoulders with TRAs who were in SW and related fields who were there deliberately to make sure that children who in any way identified with trans anything were referred for treatment and/or parents referred to CP.

Tara is not in any way trained or qualified to be overruling the Tavistock.

The result of this will be children not getting the help that they need because parents will be too afraid to take their children to a therapist, which will only leave the child more open to online grooming. When a situation like this is created I find it's useful to as the "who benefits?" question. Who benefits from parents being scared away from accessing help for their children? Who benefits from children being taken away from their parents and put into what we now know to be a very dangerous care system?

That's nice Tara. Perhaps then they'll end up in a children's home like in this article. Clearly in their best interests.

YY. I posted a screenshot where Tara and other TRAs complained about the use of ROGD by Tavistock clinicians.

Ack, the wickedness of these people is breath taking. I'm running out of words to adequately express disgust.
