And here's the newsnight report on the Tavistock clinic. https://youtu.be/zTRnrp9pXHY

They literally told doctors not to worry because if they got sued it would be the clinic they sued not the staff.

This report is chilling. They are prescribing medication after 1 hour of consultation. Even assuming that children can have gender dysphoria and that these medications are an appropriate treatment (and that's a big "if"), there is NO WAY one hour is enough time to fully analyze the child's needs. It reminds me of how antidepressants and stimulants (like Ritalin) are overprescribed by overloaded psychs dealing with patients/parents that want a quick miracle fix. But it's so much worse because the blockers and hormones have permanent effects on the body in a way the antidepressants don't.
