Dr David Bell

Yet again @ButterflyHatched you are completely wrong dr bell has saved countless children from being harmed by the same medical malpractice that you claim to have endured.
No child should be denied the right to go through puberty and the brain development that comes with it, nor should a child's wish to be something that they never can be used as a reason to put them on a medical pathway that results in sterilisation and an early death. That's not health care that's at best a medical scandal and when you look at the number of autistic and gay kids involved at it's worst it's a eugenics program going on in plane sight.
If anyone belongs in jail it's the drs who have been running gids, gender gp and wpath

‘Delulu’ was shortlisted as one of Collins’ Word of the Year 2024.

That man has been responsible for the destruction of so many lives and is one of the main reasons that the UK is now decried by human rights organisations worldwide for not providing healthcare to transgender youth.

Hate hides behind kind words and a veneer of benevolence, and the way he has shamelessly weaponised the complex difficulties of vulnerable detransitioners is nothing short of chilling.

He'll get away with it, too. He and his fellow cabal of anti-trans zealots who infested our healthcare system will never face justice for the immense harms they have caused. They've denied the kids who follow in my footsteps a future and are busy doing everything in their power to isolate themselves from the consequences.

"That one" is in fact Dr David Bell - a "distinguished psychiatrist & practising psychoanalyst" as the Guardian described him. Article about him from the Guardian back in 2021 in the aftermath of Keira Bell's case.

His focus is children and he's been been a powerful advocate for them. He's one of the reasons the corruption and bad practice at GIDs was revealed. Not surprising that extreme transactivists don't like him.

Ah yes, it is that one who thinks that there are no actual trans people, we're all apparently repressing our true and pure homosexual souls or <insert condition here>, and if only we had a bit of wholesome conversion therapy then we'd soon be making our bodies available to the LGB dating pool without any of that nasty complicated treatment getting in the way.

Interesting note on anorexia/bulimia there:

'Many of the detransitioners I have spoken to had suffered from anorexia/bulimia (although the GIDS clinicians had not made the obvious link to disturbance in relation to their sexed bodies). There is evidence that as gender dysphoria rises, anorexia bulimia is falling.'

Jon Arcelus, of WPATH and the NHS Nottingham gender service, worked in eating disorders before moving into 'gender'.

This is an article by Dr David Bell for those who are unsure who he is.

Was this the guy from another department that never actually treated any of us?

Actually there are several of those, come to think of it, so it doesn't really narrow it down much.

“Siding with someone is not an act of kindness. An act of kindness is to be able to hold a neutral position, a sympathetic position, and maintain that neutrality, which is costly and difficult.”

"having someone on your side without siding with you"

Just to wet the appetite

Thank you. He's so good isn't he?
