Parents of children as young as three were fabricating stories that their toddlers were transgender, a former psychiatrist at the Tavistock child gender clinic claims.

Dr Az Hakeem worked at the controversial NHS clinic for 12 years until 2012 and said he expressed concerns the procedures followed by staff 'were mad', describing Tavistock as a 'transing factory'.

'You had three-year-olds coming in... I saw these parents who had a son but wanted a daughter or the other way around... the parents were saying ''Johnny never looked like a boy so we've changed his name and put on a wig'',' he said.

Dr Hakeem said there was an overrepresentation of grieving parents who had lost a child, only to become pregnant again.

He compared the behaviour of parents to Munchausen by proxy disease, in which a caregiver makes up symptoms in order to create an illusion that their child is sick, calling it 'Transhausen by proxy'.

This could be very bad for the pro-trans medical community, what is being claimed by this psychiatrist amounts to medical professionals either being systematically duped by abusive parents due to their ideological beliefs or even worse professionals assisting/conspiring in the abuse of children. This should trigger a police investigation.

I place much of the blame on the hospital administration. They basically hold hostage the careers of their staff and are more willing to set up questionable policies to pull funding into the clinic. They also use it as a way to self aggrandize their own accomplishments. It becomes a positive feedback loop. Create kids who need to be transed, require more funding, require more staff, require bigger salary for managing more staff, use salary to imply your own knowledge and importance, insist on more capacity at the clinic to bring in more kids... Repeat.
