Dr Stuart Lorimer Gendercare

[vaginafetishist]

t's fair to say the decision to set up GenderCare, around seven years ago, wasn't an altruistic one. Doctors have mortgages too, and my partner was on the verge of retirement. In the UK, the coalition government showed every sign of squeezing the NHS in what has turned out to be the longest public sector pay freeze for many decades. I was looking for ways to generate more income.

Apparently Dr Stuart Lorimer was at the Detransitioners event in Manchester. There are loads of youtube videos of young women excitedly describing their first appointment in his clinic. This is his explanation of the thinking behind Gendercare.

Three pieces of news today: this; the Government getting cold feet on medicalising children, and a review of the eligibility of transgender athletes to play women’s rugby.

Common thread?

Perhaps.......insurance and fears about liability.

The insurance industry, like many City institutions, was pretty captured. Jan Gooding, Stonewall’s chair came from Aviva and there are other crossovers.

I hope however, that someone has woken up to the fact that there are real risks in self ID and the dismantling of safeguarding. And that if decision makers don’t act quickly there could be a shitstorm of liability claims.
