Me too. I wonder what the Tavistock would say about it.
It's as bad as the NHS treatment page which says you can live as your "preferred gender".
I hope all these pages are archived and used in the lawsuits on their way.

Oh thanks. I missed that.

Check out the Childline advice - it is marginally better ("it's OK not to be sure") but is also pretty chipper about puberty blockers:

www.childline.org.uk/info-advice/your-feelings/sexual-identity/transgender-identity/

The NHS pages also go off on a tangent about intersex conditions..

www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/

and also say that puberty blockers are reversible:
"The effects of treatment with GnRH analogues are considered to be fully reversible, so treatment can usually be stopped at any time after a discussion between you, your child and your MDT"
