Stonewall and Mermaids refused permission to intervene in Tavistock case
by Carys Moseley, Christian Concern:
Stonewall and Mermaids have been refused permission to intervene in a major legal case against the Tavistock gender clinic (home of the Gender Identity Development Service). The case is being brought by Susan Evans, a former psychiatric nurse and senior clinical lecturer at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. She is joined by Mrs A, the mother of an autistic teenage girl who has been referred to the Tavistock, and Kiera Bell, a young de-transitioned woman who was prescribed puberty blockers at the Tavistock as a teenager.
Judicial review set for 7-8 October
The case was brought with the aim of “asking the judiciary to examine if it is unlawful for children to be asked to give informed consent to potentially harmful experimental drug treatments.” This is undoubtedly because the GIDS has been pushing the boundaries for the last decade. I have previously explained how this has happened since ‘gender reassignment in schools’ was sneaked into the Equality Act 2010 as a protected characteristic.
Susan Evans reveals that medical specialists from different countries have provided the court with witness statements. The three bringing the case in this country have provided evidence to the court about puberty blockers being an experimental treatment. They have also provided evidence to back up their grave worries about the life-long consequences of gender transitioning for teenagers. Finally, they have raised serious concerns with the court about the clinical guidelines used by the GIDS. They argue that it is not science but transgender activism that has shaped them.
