UK’s National Health Service has ordered the closure of a controversial gender clinic for children over a report revealing that some health staff felt pressured to take “an unquestioning affirmative approach” to children experiencing gender dysphoria.
The Tavistock Centre, in north London, is known as the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS). Tavistock was founded in 1920 and originally focused on helping WWI shellshock victims. Since then it has grown to encompass a variety of services under the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust banner, with GIDS focusing on child gender issues. Since 1989 GIDS has treated 19,000 children with gender dysphoria (the feeling that one’s true identity is the opposite gender of their physical body).
The external report expressed concerns, among them the lack of knowledge about the effects of puberty blockers. Dr. Hilary Cass, the head of the review, wrote a letter to the head of NHS England on July 19:
…the most significant knowledge gaps are in relation to treatment with puberty blockers, and the lack of clarity about whether the rationale for prescription is as an initial part of a transition pathway or as a ‘pause’ to allow more time for decision making.
We do not fully understand the role of adolescent sex hormones in driving the development of both sexuality and gender identity through the early teen years, so by extension we cannot be sure about the impact of stopping these hormone surges on psychosexual and gender maturation. We therefore have no way of knowing whether, rather than buying time to make a decision, puberty blockers may disrupt that decision-making process.
It’s interesting to read a professional admitting that they do not know everything about gender dysphoria and transition because every time I hear an “expert” they sound as if there are no unanswered questions and that we have a full understanding of the effects of hormone blockers and surgery. If you want to see people who are completely sure of their realities, check out Matt Walsh’s documentary, What is a Woman, read Bonchie’s piece on it, or just read below:

What you wrote and what you now claim it to mean are different things. Either shut up or, better still, apologise for not stating it clearly in the first place.

Well, yes, I'm truly sorry that some people are illiterate, and/or refuse to understand what is written. Anyone can ask for clarification if they don't understand what is meant.
Clearly, we have a member who is obsessed with his anti-semitism. I told him he's an idiot - whatever evils he sees among the Jews, he can find among any other group he might care to obsess over.
Whatever . . . other people's failings are not my responsibility.

Nobody here has any power to prevent your grand-kids from becoming tranny limeys.
Perhaps you are posting this on the wrong forum.

As you haven't shut up - I take it this is the best you can do for an apology?
You are still blaming everyone else - not just one person as you have just stated - because everybody understood exactly what you wrote yet you alone claim it means something different.
No they are not - but you should at least admit to your own failings when they are so clearly displayed. You wrote it. We all read it. Trying to pretend otherwise is pointless.

But he has spent the last 6 years pretending like everything the traitor in chief said and did were not what was plainly said and done. Now runaway and other white supremacists think it was a valid strategy even though it failed and depended on corruption to give the illusion of success. Why face responsibility now when a blatant traitor, sexual assaulter, and plain old grifter was able to get away with so much for so long? Now imagine if you can that runaway is an absolute troll and reevaluate all of their claims.
