I respect the Times for printing this, because I genuinely think it's right to get both sides. It doesn't change my opinion of HW or her husband. It looks like they have an extremely swanky house to me. There's gold in them there pills.

There's another word they wilfully misunderstand - "need". Nobody, least of all children, needs these things. They may want them, or be led to believe they do, but that's it.

And just what are these alleged deaths in the "trans community"? Waving the suicide stick around again, is she? I seem to recall (alas, no details) reading years ago that the most likely to suicide were those who went down the medical-sterilisation-surgical-mutilation path, then realised they had destroyed their health and still would never be what they wanted.

You wonder how this person ever obtained a qualification in medicine. She certainly doesn’t deserve a certificate in being a decent human being.

Sick fuck. Obvious grift.

As always on this topic, the comments are great. The public is not buying what the TRAs are selling.

It’s a complete car crash. I’d love to know whose idea this was- did she approach the Times, did they approach her or was this the brainchild of the Good Law Project on the back of their upcoming court case?

She doesn't actually set out a coherent argument though, it's all just waffle and hyperbole. For me, that's where the value of this article lies, I can't imagine anyone reading this will be convinced that she is acting in the best interest of anybody other than herself. You could pick every single thing she says apart without breaking sweat. She is either utterly ruthless or utterly deluded.

"Webberley said: “Everybody’s vulnerable if they need something — so we’re not targeting a vulnerable population. My personal life, my professional life, has been sacrificed to help this community.”

This is lacking even the most basic logic.

"Webberley also claimed that the Cass review would have already led to deaths in the transgender community."

She provides no evidence for this claim.

"Webberley said: “She (Cass) read a different set of papers and research papers to the world’s medical experts in transgender health. It’s completely stymied our children’s service.”

Where are these papers? Give us some links.
