These have been shared on the blog of a parent with a child who has a 'trans' identity.
I actually agree with much of what the parent says, despite, I imagine, having very different beliefs in this area:
'I do not believe [the trial] will add useful information to our academic understanding of trans young people, certainly not information that is worth the risks and harms inherent in the whole approach and service. '
...
'They are asking an excessive number of questions, which is itself abusive and unreasonable – over 314 questions are here listed.
A large number of these questions of more or less irrelevant or only tangentially relevant for trans kids – they are not clinically useful, necessary or meaningful
These questions will never demonstrate what healthcare benefits trans children.
The data collection shown here will be exhausting, time-consuming and expensive, a colossal waste of NHS and research resources whilst not delivering useful outcomes.
Many of the questions outlined below are deeply pathologising, invasive, trauma-inducing and inappropriate.'
