  • haven't had a chance to keep an eye on his tribunal, but from what I'm reading:

'Dr Michael Webberley applied for voluntary erasure from the GMC register. The Tribunal say it is "unfortunate" that was not determined prior to the hearing today.

MW had two requests for postponement declined & has now provided new medical evidence for an adjournment'

RQ:' this is extraordinary. There's almost no indication of prescribing PBs to a child of 9. This is exceptional for special paediatric endocrinology. It would be exceptional for a gender service and initiated by a doctor without TG knowledge or paediatrics...I'm speechless'
I've just been reading that one on twitter.

Nothing I can add 😶

Everything is transphobic. Except for taking your child to a quack who doesn't give a hoot about them and will quite happily ply them with off license drugs.

Do you think any of this will make anyone listen? If I'd chosen GenderGP for my child I know I'd be keeping track of this tribunal. And where are the TRAs in all of this? No one saying a word, or simply fingers in ears La La La laaaaa because it's all transphobic?!

They do love large donations, don’t they?

And all the time, medically illiterate and blasé with regards to their ethical responsibilities.

DomesticatedZombie · 30/03/2022 14:45

Anyone who hasn't given a large donation to a trans charity? Transphobic.

And here's Gender GP's lead therapists latest tweet:

'If am asked to verify what JKR has said that is transphobic, I reply, what has she done that wasn’t transphobic? I mean, has she represented trans people accurately in her books, has she given a large donation to a trans charity or is it only Cis children that deserve her money.'

Here are some more from this morning:

'although he speaks of raising T levels, the ref range he quotes, is way over any I've ever seen. I've never seen an upper limit like that, he's basically invented an upper level of normal.'
[14:30]
'MH seems to terrify patients into treatment and talks about risks that aren't there'
[14:32]
' the regime is not what he initially said. He then goes into the full dose stacking regiment and it's like he's reverted to type and... what can I say...it's just incredible'
[14:32]
'one feels this is a vulnerable adult taken advantage of and put a risk. By treating stuff that isn't there and not treating stuff that is there'

@DomesticatedZombie

'His practice was to give the customer what they wanted even if not in their best interests. Treatments he used were extreme and invalidated. Failure of diagnostics and therapeutics and I think failure of humanity'

I am just catching up on this morning's tweets - this is in relation to a different patient. Holy moly.

I know. If I wasn't on the iPad I'd have C&P'd more. It just goes on and on. It feels different in tone to HWs.

@DomesticatedZombie

This is fucking hearbreaking.
Isn't it just. RQ's fury is palpable, just from the tweets. Imagine being the families and children embroiled in all of this. It's utterly sickening.

Is Mermaids still signposting to GenderGP?

'RQ: this idea if you let a little bit of puberty happen, the child will suffer greatly, isn't true. There's a difference between I feel like the opposite sex rather than 'I don't want that to happen to me'. They are enormously different'

‘If you leave them alone they end up reasonably happy with assigned sex at birth’

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 30/03/2022 14:26

I'm wondering if angry endocrinologists might be quite the growing phenomenon around puberty blockers being used to 'treat' children. After all, they're being positioned to carry the can for the debacle at the Tavistock's GIDS service.

‘It’s all happy clappy talk. Nothing I would recognise as a mental state examination.’

I love this guy.

DomesticatedZombie · 30/03/2022 14:22

I'm also not completely sure the evidence supports PBs age 13 plus, tbh, but that's another argument, I suppose.

OP posts:
tabbycatstripy · 30/03/2022 14:21

‘RQ: the evidence doesn't support that patients commit suicide. How can you be dysphoric with something that hasn't happened (puberty). They at least need puberty to commence.’

The evidence doesn’t support Mermaids/Stonewall suicide narratives.

DomesticatedZombie · 30/03/2022 14:19

RQ is a Consultant Endocrinologist

'RQ: The evidence for PBs has only arisen for children 13 and over. There's no research for a child aged 9, the fact he calls it straightforward is hugely concerning to me in terms of his insight, or lack of'

'it created the appearance but there wasn't any any clinically meaningful follow up'

'It's still disturbing to read it now'

OP posts:
Imnotavetbut · 30/03/2022 14:15

And this, but it's better read in the round. He's onto 'trans children' now and MWs expertise to work with these children:

SJ: What skills does MW have to undertake this?
RQ: none whatsoever
SJ: What history?
RQ: No useful exposure at all or doing practice...its simply not part of a physician. Unless a radical change in career and a period of significant retraining.

DomesticatedZombie · 30/03/2022 14:14

RQ: Dr Richard Quinton - expert witness:

' in terms of assessment, I can't see evidence of anything there really. He seems to cut and pate info by the patient plus info from counsellor. Doesn't seem to be any due diligence.'

'RQ: He's faced with evidence that's weak, hasn't been verified, hasn't drilled down, it's worrying. It's like the patient has almost said 'I have gender dysphoria' and MW just agrees'
