Most chilling quote in my opinion:

I think there are others, like me, who went to work at GIDS expecting to do complex assessments and differential diagnosis but the reality is that you run the risk of being called transphobic if you propose that, say, a child might have Body Dysmorphia rather than Gender Dysphoria.

Its super important that this gets out. A large part of transgender acceptance among "normal" people is the assumption that transition is only allowed after careful medical diagnosis. But if they're not allowed even voice the opinion that some of them might not be trans, its basically just self-ID which a lot fewer people are in favour of.
