They should have mentioned that Keira Bell is lesbian. It would have been the perfect opportunity, but they never do. They never bring up sexual orientation, no matter how relevant it is. It's not just relevant, but paramount when it comes to children with cross-gender identification.

So many studies on trans people fail to account for sexual orientation. It's like everyone has forgotten that gay people exist & they are hyper aware of trans identities. Even if they are staring all the hallmarks of homosexuality in the face, they still won't see it. Instead, all they'll see is another "egg".

I hope this article is part of a sea of change. It's too bad almost no gay people work at Tavistock anymore, since they seem to be the only ones who care about this issue of transition as conversion therapy.
