Figures released by the Tavistock show that in the year to March it referred 161 under-18s for hormone treatment to stop puberty. Most were 16 or under and there were nearly twice as many girls as boys. The youngest was 10 and more than a dozen were under 13.

But this helps don't give these to kids.. I've seen many TRAs claim.

Nice to see the public terfing out in the comments.

Do those gender clinics ever turn anyone away? Or even tell them to wait a year or two before they start transitioning? Or if it's a small child, do they ever tell the parents that the kid isn't trans?

They have to provide gender-affirmative care, otherwise it is deemed LGBT conversion therapy. In other words, the psychiatric evaluation that these people often need before they can get surgeries is just a formality. Everyone who says they are trans, is trans.

Pretty sure if they ever did, the practitioner would get fired.

Tavistock & Portman turned Barbie Kardashian away, at least.
