I think the article is far to optimistic. There have been threads this week on the NHS clinic being set up in Nottingham(?) advertising for an 'affirming' member of staff, an NHS board in Scotland (I think) still following WPATH. Tangentially, organisations like the Samaritans referring children to organisations that will affirm and encourage trans delusions.

I thought it represented how far we've come but also the enormity of the odds. So many professionals have abandoned protecting children in favour of the demands of predominantly male transactivist demands. Hilary Cass has had to walk a careful path between the batshit demands of that group and the fury of ordinary people at what's been done to children & young people in the name of transactivism. She's managed to do that in a manner that I think has resulted in numerous medics now carefully reversing and pretending that they never signed up or stood by watching, while all this unfolded.

It feels frustrating watching her so carefully pick her way through all the hyperbole but imho, she's playing the long game. She's not taken on the lobbyists personally, instead using data and evidence while carefully repositioning the treatment of these children in children's healthcare being managed by medics, with limited (hopefully no) space for political activists.

What hasn't happened is for NHS management to step up to the plate and start ejecting all the political activists from their DEI roles where they've been able to exercise great damage on evidence based medicine and women's healthcare in particular.

Just the fact that they can use the inaccurate term 'transgender children' shows how far we have to go before logic prevails.

That was my first thought as well.

Transsexual children. How have we got to a place where people think it's perfectly normal for children to be transsexuals?

Yes...

www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/10/19/labour-gender-therapy-plans-risk-criminalising-parents/

"A cross-party group of MPs and peers as well as psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors and consultants has written to the Prime Minister to express their “grave concerns” about his proposals.

They warn that such legislation also risks criminalising therapists who do not “unconditionally affirm” a child’s desire to transition.
The previous government had proposed banning conversion therapyy_ but it was never implemented because of concerns that parents, teachers and therapists could be criminalised for questioning a child’s belief that they were born in the wrong body.
Labour has now resurrected these plans, with the Government earlier this month launching a new Office for Equality and Opportunity, stating that one of its “key immediate priorities” will be “delivering a full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices”."
