There is an escalation of attacks against GIDS by many of those who are supportive of Dr Webberley including parents involved with Mermaids and Tara Hewitt (TELI & NHS diversity adviser)
Well this is interesting.
There are quite a few women who want the medical profession to basically pick a side.
Or, at the very least, make some assertions about what constitutes sex, as in biology, not a social construct, about what intersex actually is, about what gender dysphoria is and what it isn't, etc.
I always felt that they were deliberately holding back and being neutral, for the sake of being both professional, and the necessity perhaps, of not being entirely definite about things. As it's an emerging issue, and understanding is key. Alienating people is counter-productive.
However, as the clinics have, indeed, been professional, I should imagine that putting pressure on them, or attacking them, will not go down well.
They are at the coal face of seeing youngsters, some extremely young, being confused about gender. Precisely because of activism. Indeed I'm pretty sure they have publicly stated that they disagree with mermaids over what constitutes 'age appropriate' in terms of medication.
I can't see them bowing further to any kind of pressure, to be honest. There are too many people who are genuinely invested in a healthy outcome for children.
This will have the opposite effect to the one transactivists want.
