Doctor who gave puberty blockers to children nominated for ITV-backed diversity award

[IwantToRetire]

A doctor who prescribed puberty blockers to children as young as 12 has been nominated for an ITV-backed award as a positive role model for LGBT individuals.

Dr Helen Webberley, who was allowed to practise medicine again in March this year after the High Court quashed a misconduct ruling against her, has been selected by the National Diversity Awards for her work.

Welcoming her nomination for the award, Dr Webberley, who worked as a GP in south Wales before setting up her online business, referred to her recent legal battles with the medical regulator.

She said: “I have faced far too many courts and tribunals and each time I have simply told the truth.

“Since 2015, I have faced enormous uphill battles that tried to prevent me from creating services that allow trans people to access healthcare that suits them.”

She added: “I have cried, laughed, screamed and shouted, but every day I have worked towards this one single mission - allow transgender people to live their best lives. End of story!”

But the almost impossible question of how to care for young people with gender dysphoria shouldn’t be left to those willing to offer medication on demand. Webberley describes herself as a “doctor peddling in business”. Patients deserve better.

I wonder if it is a coincidence that ITV host the diversity awards, and that ITN make the JV on 5 show that invited HW on to comment today https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4873398-jeremy-vine-on-c5-now-helen-webberley-is-on

“Why has a doctor who prescribed sex-change hormones to children been nominated for an award?”

Because she was active on social media shilling for nominations in the run up to the deadline.

There were threads on here with links to her twitter posts.

This could be an amazing own goal. What if she won?

Correct if I'm wrong but didn't she used to post on MN with links to her fertility clinic or something similar?

Yes.

A doctor who prescribed puberty blockers to children as young as 12 has been nominated for an ITV-backed award as a positive role model for LGBT individuals.

How can a heterosexual woman who doesn't identify as transgender be a 'role model' for LGBT individuals? Shouldn't that award go to someone who is LGBT?

Webberley’s criminal conviction still stands.

I think that the Diversity Awards is an ITV show, and as we know mainstream tv has been totally captured.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if her nominations aren't a deliberate move to reinforce the trans narrative that children want to transition and it is cruel not to help them.

This despite the report about the Tavistock and the new guidelines.

I suspect she will win.

Phew, thought there was some horrible scandal involving Dr Who the show! I know they're woke but there are limits 😅

Let her bake in her position as publicly as possible. When the scandal breaks properly, she won't be able to wriggle out.

From memory I believe she has prescribed puberty blockers to children as young as 9 and cross sex hormones to children as young as 12

A plague on all their houses. Absolutely vile. She is beyond contempt that one.

Am I right in thinking this is her website?

Lots of job opportunities, apparently.
