As a mother of a child who is in the thralls of this (I did not allow puberty blockers or hormones or surgeries, but, at 16, she took illegal "T" she obtained from the UK in the mail sent to a friend's home for 90 days until I discovered it, and she is now taking synthetic T prescribed after 1 visit at Callen Lorde soon after turning 18 and is 19 today), I am extremely frustrated and disgusted at the arrogance associated with this experiment.

When there is already so much evidence out there from those who were experimented upon without their knowledge that it was an experiment, for the UK to now perform another experiment and suck more children into this mess without even listening to the canaries in the coalmine is a real show of disrespect for detransitioners and for kids like mine, who has not yet realized what she is doing to herself.

It is difficult to just have to sit by and let these "scientists" lie to my child and to a whole generation, making the ridiculous claim that some people were born with the necessity to be treated and referred to as the opposite sex and to be chemically and/or surgically altered to appear the opposite sex in order to have any semblance of happiness and to avoid torment and suicide. This pernicious lie will go down as one of the biggest medical and social scandals of all time.

That these "scientists" won't even acknowledge the sagacious warnings of so many articulate detransitioners and desisters before using off-label drugs on pre-teens who aren't comfortable in their sex makes it clear that they have no interest in actually helping anyone, and only want to satisfy their sick prurient curiosity.

Horrifying. And it shows that the tide has not turned. A minor set back, maybe. But they are just regrouping and coming back from another angle, and perhaps with more force.

How will such a study wvwr pass muster through a research ethics board when there is a rich mine of data sitting, unpublished, from Olson-Kennedy and from the systematic reviews commissioned from JHU by WPATH that Levine and WPATH and the AAP suppressed? Why go out and harm "fresh children" when so many are already out there? Delusion. The active deceit and gas-lighting of medical science has to stop first. Those sitting on the answers have to stand up and get out of the way! Otherwise this remains an ethical travesty.

How indeed. Which is why those studies are still UNpublished. They can pretend they don’t exist.

It seems to me that the consultants (particularly from the Tavi) still think they are like Gods and don't listen to ordinary people who know their own bodies let alone other people working in the field.

Even now, after Cass, the recent review undertaken by the Government in New Zealand and evidence collected from detransitioners, the UK Government is still in thrall to the gender woo. What is wrong with these people?

"Pathways" is the name given to many North American Children's Hospital Gender Clinics.

Gross. I did not know that. Thank you.

It is very worrying and hard to understand why this unethical trial is supported both by Dr Hilary Cass as author of the Cass Review, and by Wes Streeting as Health Secretary.

As possibly the two most important people to approve or disapprove this trial, how can they be induced to think again?

Mentally healthy "ordinary people" KNOW their gender cannot be changed or reassigned, how many born women will die from gynecological cancers this year alone? NO TWAM will. Since puberty is the natural transition of every youth, why block it? To put their vulnerable lives @ risk with elective unnecessary hysterectomies & mastectomies? To remove their reproductive systems in favour of synthetic ones & lifetime chemical regimes?
