GLP funding Trans Healthcare for 24 kids with Anne Health abroad

[ElenOfTheWays]

What do we suppose they mean by "Trans Healthcare"? Are we talking puberty blockers here? Hormones?

Quote:
"Encouraged by Wes Streeting, NHS England closed down trans youth healthcare at the WellBN Clinic in Brighton, one of the few clinics in the country offering gender affirming care. It meant something over 100 children faced being forcibly detransitioned: a truly hideous, shameful situation. And their parents, knowing that gender affirming care might mean the difference between life and death for their children, were terrified.
And at Good Law Project we were too.
We put up a crowdfunder – which we’ve now closed – and we’re supplementing what we raised with some money of our own. We’re going to fund seventeen kids from the hardest up WellBN families to get private healthcare from a private provider, Anne Health, abroad. And we’re going to fund another seven kids from especially hard up families who did not benefit from WellBN’s gender affirming healthcare to do the same. We will fund that healthcare for three years, or until the kids turn 18, whichever happens first."

We will fund that healthcare for three years, or until the kids turn 18, whichever happens first.

So GLP are going to withdraw treatment too...

Ha! Good point.
I see Anne Health was founded by ghoul in chief Susie Green and they do indeed provide puberty blockers and hormones to kids who can afford to pay.
"Not for profit" my arse!

TBH it's likely that these kids don't exist - it's all just a promotional exercise for GLP and Susie Green

The first part of 'Jo' Maugham's commentary on the linked page.

When the Tories were in power Kemi Badenoch boasted of stuffing key posts in the NHS with transphobes; any principles Wes Streeting had when health secretary he cheerfully abandoned to try and please the same bigots who he now complains are hounding him for his sexuality and the new health secretary, Yvette Cooper, is distinctly MIA.

I'm not sure what the basis for these claims is - can't find any quotes close to the sentiment (no actual quotes used) claimed for for Kemi Badenoch. Can someone point me to where the claims originate?

Meanwhile, suicide rates for trans children are soaring and, faced with the most vehmently (sic) anti-trans healthcare regime in the so-called developed

Is this clain actaully true? The way that it is being presented seems to ignore press guidance from the Samaritans

world, wealthier families are accessing private healthcare abroad.

Is 'Jo' slipping in a a quick advertisement for Anne Health?

And the kids of less wealthy families are DIYing – buying the hormones they need over the internet, or getting them free via peer groups, with no medical professionals involved.

Is this a bit more advice disguised as reporting from 'Jo'?

Ordinarily, in such circumstances, we would turn to the so-called justice system. But English judges tell us time and time again that they do not want to listen to trans people.

Judges interpret the law, I'm not sure that they are supposed to just listen to what activists think the law should be

Good to see that GLP have managed to fit three separate donate buttons onto a single page.

A lot of people have elevated suicide risk: people with autism, people with depression, people with chronic pain etc. On a population level, the highest suicide risk have people with 7+ ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), yet no one talks about that.

A Finnish nationwide register study followed 2,083 adolescents and young adults who had been referred to gender identity services. During long-term follow-up, twenty individuals (0.96%) died by suicide.

Suicide mortality was initially higher among those referred to gender services than among matched controls from the general population (0.51 versus 0.12 deaths per 1,000 person-years). However, after taking previous psychiatric treatment into account, the difference was no longer statistically significant. The findings suggest that pre-existing psychiatric comorbidities, rather than gender referral status itself, are the primary predictors of suicide mortality. The study found that a history of psychiatric treatment largely explained the elevated suicide risk.

I can only hope you're right. 24 does seem like a strange number though.

I hope receipts are kept - both of what exactly is funded by GLP and everything GLP/JoMo posts. Will make any possible charges in future or lawsuits against them much easier.

How many other ways will he find of getting money from donations?

I'm guessing all these children and their families must be anonymous too.

People must be wising up by now.

I think the kids are real and he’s trying to find more opportunities for grift. Trans causes are among the most lucrative of the GLP’s revenue earners. Now that even trans Reddit has spotted that JM is a grifter who couldn’t win a court case to save his life they’re in danger of losing all that lovely money. This isn’t public, it’s about trans kids so hits the heart of the activists and loads of people will want to support it. It also opens up many more opportunities for JM to froth and point at the camera. Surprised he hasn’t done it before really.

And frankly I hope that whatever contract he gets them to sign isn’t watertight and they sue the hell out of him in later life because this is pure evil.

Let's not forget that GLP shares a DIrector with Mumsnet.

Forgive my ignorance but isn’t it illegal to get drugs abroad and give them to children, if the drugs have been banned in our country?

He isn't going to mutilate and sterilise HIS kids, just other people's who cannot afford to get the illegal prescriptions for banned drugs themselves.

Why send gender-questioning children abroad? There are 'Gender Identity Clinics' run by the NHS in the UK.

Could it be that the GICs aren't good enough for the GLP because they are more careful in how they approach gender-questioning children, and don't assume that 'questioning gender' means 'high road to transition'?

I thought the phrase 'trans child' had been abandoned some time ago, because even TRAs realised it was unpopular.

As far as I can see, the NHS etc don't use it, they refer to 'gender incongruence' or 'gender dysphoria', and I think it is widely accepted that 'gender incongruence' isn't unusual in childhood, and that most children grow out of it.

'Persistent gender dysphoria' is sometimes used as evidence that a child is 'truly' trans, but that is full of ifs and buts - at what age do you give up on helping a child to accept the reality of their biological sex?

This is an important point because one of the conditions for the use of puberty blockers is showing 'persistent gender dysphoria or a consistent pattern of gender nonconformity.'

Children are reaching puberty earlier and earlier, so the decision time about who is 'truly trans' is also earlier and earlier - the age of puberty can be as low as 8 or 9, but the average is 11 or 12.

So for PBs to have the 'desired' effect a child would have to be considered 'true trans', with 'persistent gender dysphoria or a consistent pattern of gender nonconformity' by the age of 11 or 12.

At that age, many of us had issues with our sex/gender, whether it was not liking stereotypical girly stuff, like hating having to wear frocks, wanting to pursue non-traditional work choices, angry at how girls and women were portrayed/treated in society, not being even remotely interested in boys.. that kind of thing.

We still had a lot of sorting out and growing up to do at 11 or 12, and we all came to different 'accommodations' with the unchangeable fact that we were girls who would grow up to be adult human females.

I for one demonstrated 'a consistent pattern of gender nonconformity.' when I was 11 or 12. Still do.😎

The phrase 'trans kids' needs to be challenged strongly, it's applying a limiting, contested adult concept to children who need love and support, not labelling.

Random thought for the day, for the legal bods among us. Could the GLP be held liable if god forbid, something goes wrong for these children?

They're going to be trafficking children abroad for the purpose of medical experimentation. If that's not a criminal offence it bloody well should be.
I'd say it's another one of his scams, it was posted previously that for every pound crowdfunded he pockets 10 % , it's just another immoral way for him to top up his offshore slush fund.
He really is a despicable individual. 🤢

In the funding world, taking 10% off any income just because it covers your costs and more, is called 'topslicing'.

So for PBs to have the 'desired' effect a child would have to be considered 'true trans', with 'persistent gender dysphoria or a consistent pattern of gender nonconformity' by the age of 11 or 12.

What is gender nonconformity, other than not conforming to stereotypes? Why do the gender zealots say that trans isn't about stereotypes, but then want to medicate children for not conforming to stereotypes?

It doesn't make sense.

How many gender nonconformists does it take to consider the non conformity, thoroughly conforming?

Such a bell end. Maybe he could use his obvious fundraising experience for something less damaging. Wildlife charities are very deserving.

He could donate to a fox rescue
Try to redeem himself a bit 🦊

None of this ideology makes sense. But shhhhh. We aren't supposed to ask difficult questions

Since no one is 100% gender conforming I reckon we're already there.
We just aren't supposed to say so.
Remember the genderbread men?

How horribly appropriate in this case.

It is the plain sight grubbery of him scratching Susie Green's back while she scratches his which gets me. I can easily imagine this came out of a boozy dinner party and their terrific wheeze out of medicalising physically healthy children has grown very nice, very profitable legs for both of them.
