We know it's coming. So how will various people from various groups be implicated?

Teachers for example. How would they be able to say they didn't know?

I think a school governing board could be held accountable if a girl were injured due to playing sport with a transgirl, or worse in toilets or in overnight accommodation.

Oh, and lots of previous screamers of "kill the terf" will declare they never truly believed but wanted to 'be kind'.

Not to the women they were issuing rape and death threats too, of course.

Doctors and surgeons mainly, or rather the trusts they work for. Because they are the ones prescribing serious medication to children and performing irreversible surgeries with devastating long term consequences.

The government for the policies - in particular the housing of male bodied prisoners in women's prisons.

Lots more will be criticised heavily but not held legally accountable. Certain organisations will quietly disband.

The tide will turn and we'll start to see celebs suddenly changing their tune as their managers inform them popular opinion has shifted. They'll have Twitter epiphanies that they'll wang on about endlessly. Then the mememe apologies and a load of gaslighting and assorted bollocks.

People who've remained silent will suddenly appear and declare they've always disagreed.

Then there will be documentaries about the years that X was done and why with loads of people who never spoke up when it mattered getting themselves some publicity.

Emerging research has raised potential red flags regarding the safety and efficacy of puberty blockers. According to recent reports, the ramifications of using these drugs at a young age are unknown at this time, but some of the potential health consequences presented by puberty blockers may include low bone density and adverse psychological effects.

Sorry, forgot to say that I can’t imagine ways that teachers will be proved negligent, mainly because I can’t see how you could demonstrate that their actions had a financial cost, but perhaps others have a better grip on how it could work.

Also if a teacher has followed school policy throughout, I don’t think they’d be directly liable. It would be the school who created the policy who was at fault. Given that even the medical establishment use the affirmation model in the US and probably the UK as well, then any teacher or social worker can argue that they were following best medical practice at the time.

The medics however, have no such excuse as they ought to have examined the evidence and realised how poor it is and that it is particularly inadequate for young women as the model they are pushing was designed around a wholly different cohort of patients.

The NHS Trusts surely?

Although banning gender conversion therapy in Scotland is a government decision so that would be the Scottish government

I imagine most lawsuits will be negligence cases against doctors who can be demonstrated to have caused harm, with an attached cost. Costs would include both medical care costs and potentially loss of earnings, in cases where surgery resulted in disability. Also possibly mental health and/or surrogacy costs for lack of fertility.
