41 replies

From Twitter

The judge has now read the submissions of evidence from all parties- judicial review is GRANTED- so GID service at Tavistock and nhs will be fully examined about whether asking under 18 year olds to give informed consent to hormone blockers is unlawful.

A step in the right direction, I hope. And with it more sunlight.

Well done to Sue Evans and Kiera Bell.

Thanks for your bravery from me too Keira, courage calls to courage and because of you others will speak up.

I'm virtually high fiving you (and Sue) with one hand, as I reach for a garden implement with the other...

Keira Bell is wonderful. If she ever sees this - thank you. Thank you so enormously much. You are sounding the alarm for so many other girls and young women; I appreciate that the emotional cost to you of doing it is very high

Well said wellbehavedwoman. If anybody who is in touch with Keira sees this, please let her know that she is regarded as a hero by many here. She is doing something which requires great courage and when history judges this era, she will be seen as a warrior for justice.

This is great news. Keira Bell is a very brave young woman. What she is doing will be regarded as heroic in the future. The doctors responsible for causing her such trauma will be indicted by history.

YES!

ClitoriaTernatea · 28/02/2020 15:28

Fab news.

Cwenthryth · 28/02/2020 14:58

I went to say Thankyou to Sue Evans on Twitter (it popped up on my TL too) but she has now deleted the tweet saying she jumped the gun

This hasn't been confirmed but looks like there will be an announcement on Sunday

marvellousnightforamooncup · 28/02/2020 14:41

Great news.

Whatisthisfuckery · 28/02/2020 14:41

So glad this is happening. At the very least it’ll bring everything out into the open. I hope the judge hasn’t been captured.

Datun · 28/02/2020 14:28

Excellent news. The tide is absolutely turning. This is evidence of it. And the result will be further evidence.

Languishingfemale · 28/02/2020 14:27

Excellent. Long overdue and shameful that it is down to individuals to crowdfund this rather than society taking responsibility for safeguarding children

ahagwearsapointybonnet · 28/02/2020 14:26

Yes!!! Well done to all involved.

Imnobody4 · 28/02/2020 14:24

Brilliant news. So grateful to Sue Evans and Keira Bell.

TalaxuArmiuna · 28/02/2020 14:23

let's hope the judge hasn't drunk the koolaid
