The failure of researchers proposing the early intervention study at the Tavistock to include a control group led an ethics approval committee to withhold approval. The researchers got clearance from a second ethics committee (as the rules allowed).

It is difficult to believe that history will be kind to those promoting invasive, irreversible, sterilising ‘gender change’ in young people.

The arguments in favour of continuing on this pathway are becoming ever less plausible with much of the initial supportive ‘science’ eroded.

Also of concern is that many of the practitioners involved in the process of ‘transition’ are also campaigning politically for support of the interventions. This is an inappropriate invasion a domain that should be based on sound, irrevocable science, by which I mean satisfaction of the gold standard clinical trial.
