Belstaffie is live tweeting the court proceedings here. The counsel is making some excellent points and citing some very chilling stats: twitter.com/Belstaffie/status/1313777462610997248?s=19

Ms Morris also said the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust referred children and young people experiencing gender dysphoria to University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust or Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust.
She argued that those two trusts were "responsible" for prescribing hormone blockers to children with gender dysphoria - not the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.

Ah yes, that well established defence "It wasn't me it was someone else." Hmm

Leeds. Fucking, Leeds again.

Some SERIOUS investigative journalism needs to take place into authorities there.

There is something seriously, seriously wrong and sinister in the area.

And it seems to be spreading to Liverpool.

The Tavistock have repeatedly said that they don't prescribe hormone blockers and so they have no idea how many children who have been through GIDS have been prescribed them. Lots of people have asked them this and this is always the answer. (see their FOI disclosure log).

It seems to be one of those situations where nobody has overall responsibility for treatment of these children. GIDS should be doing a proper psychological assessment before referring them to the endocrinologists for hormone blocking treatment. The endocrinologists assume that this has been done, because they are endocrinologists, looking at the physical aspects of the treatment. They are not psychologists.

GIDS arguing that they are not 'responsible' for treatment is dishonest. If they have referred the children to the endocrinologists then they are responsible for this treatment, because they have said that their psychological assessment has indicated that the children should have hormone blocking treatment.

Are GIDS going to try and show that the endocrinologists were negligent in prescribing these drugs and that they should have done some further assessment before prescribing them?

This is such good news but the statistics are just upsetting
