Sweden, Finland, Norway, U.K. and now the UDS have shifted away from fully affirmative gender-affirming care for minors, adopting a more cautious approach. This shift involves restricting access to medical interventions like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transition-related surgery.
There is clearly an expanding rejection of the 'affirmative' model of gender care.
I suspect that those continuing to implement and promote 'gender transition' in children are now in a quandary:
To admit they were wrong would come at a huge price to their reputation and professional vulnerability; to continue would reflect logic entailed in the saying 'when you're in a hole keep digging'.
Thank you Dr Clayton for a brilliant and dogged investigation of this shocking scandal in Australian Medicine. Hopefully the Queensland Government Inquiry will take note of your findings and will follow the same rat holes that you had to crawl through to find this astonishing evidence.
If not them, then perhaps a plaintiff lawyer might do some work in the court room and extract this evidence before the court.
And perhaps courts might stop using gender affirmation clinicians for opinions on gender affirmation.
But hopefully your investigation and Bernard’s publication of it,will be a large step forward in bringing the scandal to light and stopping it completely.
This is just horrifying. Like WPATH in the US, they endorsed themselves & the hospital just went along with it & it spread to the rest of Australia. It’s criminal.
"How on earth could Deputy Minister Kearney consider herself qualified to comment on anything related to medicine." Kearney does not care about her medical qualifications, obviously, because her 15 years as a union official make her just the sort of sleazy political insider trans activists love to work in solidarity with.
Though she was a nurse before a union official, I assume? And in any case, the field of paediatric medical transition is a constant reminder that plenty of medicos allow identity politics to overwhelm the norms of their profession.
This situation exemplifies the fundamentally antidemocratic and anti-institutional qualities of trans activism. Knowing they'd be unlikely to receive permission to implement their pernicious programs if they approached organizations directly and in accordance with established governance rules, they prefer being ushered in the side door by trans allies on the inside. When caught, as they were here, they don't even ask for forgiveness from the organizations and individuals they have harmed. They just yell "transphobia" until they're baby blue and pink in the face.

'Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care Ged Kearney described the RCH guidelines for gender care as ‘excellent’. . . . . . .
It is important to be reminded of the qualifications of the Minister and Deputy Minister of our Ministry of Health and Aged Care:
Prior to entering parliament the Minister, Mark Butler’s entire work experience was 15 years as a Union Official.
That of his Deputy, Ed Kearney, was 16 years as a Union Official.
. . . . .Thus, our Ministry of Health is managed by two individuals whose total life work experience has been 31 years as Union Officials.
How on earth could Deputy Minister Kearney consider herself qualified to comment on anything related to medicine.
It is an insult that such individuals could elevated to such positions in our Federal Government.

I've checked, you're correct Bernard, she was a nurse for two years, 2000-2002
So many agendas and so little real care.
