I don't have a share token but have read this. The details have also been in other news articles a couple of years ago, esp the Times.

There's a general belief that GIDS know what they're doing.

They don't. It's a shambles. Based on no evidence. From the article:

Evans began to become concerned by the influence of transgender organisations on clinical practice at the Tavistock. “It was becoming increasingly difficult to discuss the needs of the patients who displayed clinical curiosity. The beginnings of the more ‘affirmative model’ of care [whereby the cross-sex identity of a child with gender dysphoria is affirmed by referring to the child as if it were the opposite sex] were taking root”.

To this day, Evans believes this practice “has not been proven to alleviate mental distress”, and that its use within the GIDS is “based on political pressures and fears of litigation, rather than what would be clinically, professionally appropriate”.

And

Between 2016 and 2019, a total of 35 clinicians left the Tavistock, many reporting concerns. One psychologist, who wished to remain anonymous, feared that “young people are being over-diagnosed and then over-medicalised”. Others felt the influence of lobby groups on clinical practice.

So basically lobby groups are literally "taking over the asylum."

The next move I think is to find out who these groups were and what they did.

Luckily, many groups and individuals have been documenting this.

Transgender Trend and safe schools alliance uk to name a two.

Excellent article and so good to see a piece by a campaigning feminist in the telegraph!
