According to a bombshell investigation, children as young as nine have been given drugs for puberty blockers at a Scots gender clinic dubbed ‘Scotland’s Tavistock Centre’.
The report by NHS clinicians found youngsters with gender dysphoria have been given the drugs at the NHS-run national gender service in Glasgow, a disproportionate number of whom were on the autistic spectrum.
Many also had conditions such as anxiety and depression, increasing fears over future legal action from those who may claim to have been misdiagnosed.
The dossier revealed similarities between the Sandyford clinic in Glasgow and the Tavistock child gender identity development service (GIDS) in London, set to be shut down after it was heavily criticised in a review by Dr Hilary Cass, whose report said it was unsafe for its young patients.
The report into the national gender identity service revealed that a total of 91 youngsters aged between nine and 17 were referred to paediatric endocrinology between 2011 and 2019.
Two-thirds of those referred were birth-assigned females.
Almost a quarter were on the autistic spectrum, and 37 per cent had mental health disorders such as depression.
Only six out of 64 young people eligible for fertility preservation finished the process.
Campaigners have called for the clinic to be closed, and a spokesman for campaign group For Women Scotland said that the parallels with the ill-fated Tavistock were stark and that endocrinologists were halting children’s puberty with experimental drugs, and it was said that it was vital that the Scottish Government acted immediately to close Sandyford and to not do so would be gross medical negligence and likely to attract, as is happening in England, legal claims from former patients.
Dr David Bell, a psychiatrist who raised concerns about the Tavistock said that there was a lack of proof worldwide on the effects of prescribing puberty blockers for gender dysphoria and there was considerable concern that they may interfere with brain and bone growth.
He said that a national gender service was the wrong model and that these children and young people needed to be understood in the context of the other mental health problems they were experiencing.
The findings were revealed in a study paper by NHS clinicians who carried out an assessment of the Scottish service, which they said had clear benefits for youngsters with gender dysphoria as it had a range of different specialists.
This is so immoral and there are no success or fail statistics for these procedures, phycological or physical. In fact, after decades, they’re still classified as experimental and how can an adult make an informed conclusion without understanding the dangers, particularly when it comes to a youngster?
This should be made illegal and the immoral people behind this should be named and shamed because they’re destroying people’s lives, and this is the reason why we end up with crowds of people demonstrating, but then, of course, they get yelled at and abused for protesting, but ruining children’s lives is not acceptable when they’re ending up with irreversible bone density problems and brain development issues, yet the money keeps rolling in for pharmaceutical companies.
These mad experiments have been going on for far too long, going back hundreds of years, so nothing has changed, and all in the name of science and the public purse.
This is simply disgraceful and this place should be closed down, and where is the safeguarding for these vulnerable children? It’s disgusting what is happening to these children. Too noisy, here take a pill, being a child, here take a pill!
