Statement from Keira Bell:

...this fight is not yet over. I would like to personally call on professionals and clinicians to create better mental health services and models to help those dealing with gender dysphoria to reconcile with their sex. And furthermore I call on society to accept those who do not conform to sex stereotypes, not to push them into a life of drugs and concealment from who they truly are. This means stopping the homophobia, the misogyny and the bullying of those that are different.

Today I am delighted to see that common sense has prevailed and to see a reinstatement of safeguarding for children.

Standing on Keira's left is Susan Evans, the original claimant in this case, who worked as a psychotherapist at the Tavistock clinic. Apart from everything else she, Keira and Mrs A have achieved today, they've also won vindication for the many GIDS staff who have tried to express their concerns for over a decade now, often finding they had no choice but to resign.
