Heads up for anyone interested. I don't know who will be on the show discussing this, but may be worth a listen?

Yes it is indeed strange that the capture of the clinic by SW ideology , the personnel who truly believed, and the fact that if you think your body isn’t yours , you already have a ginormous mental ill health problem, were not even mentioned. A good opportunity squandered. If I believed that any of my emails were read at womanshouryourviews@ I would complain, but there’s no evidence that they ever do.

True. Those vital bits weren't mentioned. But they did mention the over-representation of girls, girls with ASD, and girls with trauma and MH, and that any treatment going forward needs to be holistic and MH-based.

Hope it's better that Woman's Hour this morning. Had to turn off in disgust

Did you turn off while the parent was on? It got better after that I thought, and the health correspondent explained the history of the last few years quite clearly.

Having listened to him trailing the discussion I'm not certain he's really on top of what is actually happening. I expect he will put on his extra special, 'trans issues' voice which will make me want to scream at him.

Expect a full bingo card of: huge waiting lists; mis-use of suicide fears; 'wrong body' etc.
