Wow no representative from Tavistock at newsnight

Asking Keira if she feels bad because of the children who will have their treatment stopped...at the end of the day, this is all on the Tavi, not Keira.

Keira dealt with the questioning very well.

Great response re mental health support

Susie pissing me off already, 3 seconds in. "Discrimination" Suicide

I appreciate the play by play of BBC2...can't watch it in my area.

Susie hitting all her greatest hits, almost straight out of the box.

Susie Green - autonomy over own bodies, discriminating against trans people.

Already seen rise in suicidality.

Heads are going to roll. exactly 😁👀

Keira just spoke so so well on newsnight 🥃

Challenge SG on the 1% detransitioning Emily!

Keira not representative. Less than 1% regret. Sacrifice happiness of 99%.

Maitlis points out that judges did their homework.

Come on Emily

Yay! ‘No strong evidence!’

Still the BS about this being safe, not experimental. Glad Emily is challenging it, especially the lifesaving claim and the suicide stats.

SG: puberty blockers not experimental.

EM: Yes they are.

SG: No they're not. Used Ditch since 80s. So much evidence for it. Literally life saving.

EM.: Erm no. No links between suicide and trans. Dangerous to say there is.

SG: Anecdotal link

EM doing a good job challenging the anecdotes with actual evidence.

Glad Keira hasn’t had to stick around for this.

Susie Green - I think Maitliss reads Mumsnet. Pulling her up over the suicided stuff - excellent. Green's hyperbole makes me fume. How the hell did she get to be the voice of trans people.

SY: in filed for twenty years. Anecdotal evidence. Thousands of young people forced to experience torture of puberty.

Yay Emily: Not sure you can say that it is life saving.

And yes, they've been used for decades. To halt early puberty TEMPORARILY ,not to completely stop the natural process from EVER fucking happening.

Jesus Christ, this woman!!

“The evidence is not gold standard”
💪 Emily

Turns out evidence beats anecdata, thank fuck

Susie looking flushed - clearly unused to being challenged.

That was an interesting debate.
