We are sorry that we took the wrong decision on our information about gender and autism last week. We didn’t follow our usual process and we should have.

Thank you for reversing the decision and the apologies given above. I look forward to the outcome of the review being published in full. There are many Autistic people who are trans or questioning their gender identity, Mermaids provide a great service to trans youth and family

In fact 35% of children referred to Tavistock since 2011 have been assessed as having autistic traits, so obviously the best approach is to put them on a path of sterilisation rather than, ya know, try to find out why such a high % of children identifying as trans are autistic

Wouldn't it be more neutral to review the information first and leave the links off until you have done that?
