The anguish of the dissenting parents must be completely unbearable. I only hope the courts reverse tack immediately.

This is brilliant work from Ms Lane. Any relation?

Extraordinary.

I think money will start talking: if insurrance companies refuse to cover GP who prescribe Trans hormones or PB and judges are aware of potential law suits (and financial consequences), the balance will be much more in favour of a cautionary approach.

Yes, I think bringing judges up to speed is essential. Like everyone else they too have been let down by poor media coverage over the past 10 years.

Thanks Bernard for another informative piece. I really appreciate the light you shine on this issue with such clarity. I suppose you also saw that The Australian published an article reporting on Belle Lane’s paper yesterday. It’s another step forwards.
