      Here is a link to the full judgment in the Tavistock case. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Bell-v-Tavistock-Judgment.pdf …

      The practical effect of the judgment will be that puberty blockers will very rarely be prescribed to those under 16 which will mean (given they are only useful to those undergoing puberty) that they are very rarely prescribed.

      In short, those who supported the litigation are perfectly entitled to say that they have 'won'.

      Although there are reports that the Tavistock will seek to appeal the decision - and I would expect them to - it will be an extremely difficult decision to overturn on appeal.

      Nor is it easy for me to anticipate a legislative intervention. This is likely to be the situation in the United Kingdom for a very long time indeed.

      But, of course, the decision only covers prescribing practice in the NHS - which was already an international outlier in terms of its institutional hostility to gender dysphoria.

      And, in practical terms, the length of NHS waiting lists were such that most families of young people sought treatment abroad anyway: sub-optimal for the wealthy and discriminatory against the poor. This practice is now bound to accelerate.

          It is also possible to, in effect, self-medicate by buying drugs on the dark web without any triaging. It is inevitable, I would say, that this practice will grow.

          On a personal level I want to re-up this thread (dating to before the hearing) that makes the point that, I believe, it was profoundly wrong for the Court to have refused to hear from a single trans child or organisation representing their interests.https://twitter.com/JolyonMaugham/status/1313168858556116993 …

          Jo Maugham added,

          Jo MaughamVerified account @JolyonMaugham
          The case against the Tavistock, seeking (in effect) to deny trans kids in the UK treatment that is available throughout the rest of the developed world, will hear no submissions from trans kids. They, and charities representing them, asked to be heard but were denied all voice.

          We are taking advice on whether families who take their child abroad for treatment are at risk of having their child taken into care. We will, of course, publish that advice.

          Perhaps it might give some parents pause to consider that an experimental treatment might not be the only way to help their children.

          Perhaps it might give people like yourself a good opportunity to listen to some of the people that this will hurt properly

          Anyone that does A level maths learns calculus regardless of school... I also did A Level Latin and turned out not transphobic, despite going to a conservative all boys school in Northern Ireland. What a ridiculous statement.

          Well if this judgement makes some parents and children think more carefully before accessing experimental drugs abroad that’s surely good?

          Puberty blockers are not experimental drugs- e.g. they are used for precocious puberty in cis women. I went through puberty before 10 and had testicular cancer at 14 almost certainly because of that - if I had had the option for puberty blockers I may well have taken them.
