Post-Tavistock reform and disorder; a Finnish honour; so trans-affirming in Germany; a criminal probe at Florence's gender clinic; and evidence-based medicine gets to say 'told you so'
It was always a huge mistake propagated by zealous and well-meaning individuals who enthusiastically promoted something that they believed in.
The flaw was that their enthusiasm sidelined the most basic tenet in medicine with the introduction and promotion of an invasive, irreversible, mutilating and sterilising procedure in children that had not satisfied a level of scrutiny to ensure safety and efficacy.
As for "Tavistock was “routinely offering an extreme medical intervention as the first-line treatment to hundreds of distressed young people who may or may not turn out to be ‘trans’.”' - no young people turn out to be trans. It is not a state. If there was a trans gene, it would vanish within one generation.
“ gender affirmative ’ care, specifically in relation to minors can be viewed as a facet of the “ gem “ of Critical Social Justice Theory, which has been exercised within academic, corporate and media domains ( the former being the birth place, from which it metastasized) , championed by the cultural Marxist activists from within the modern “ progressives” who have selected the battlegrounds of race, gender , indigenous status and nationality in apportioning oppressor or oppressed class status, based on ( falsely) claimed victim status. We in the medical profession have been sucked into this pernicious vortex by a powerful groupthink which has fought harder and rejects evidence based challenge

Belief is never enough!
