        'Crossing the threshold from adolescence to adulthood requires an in between period of trying out adult roles, conceptualised by Erikson (1968) as a ‘psychosocial moratorium’, essential if the adolescent is not to end up ‘in a “social pocket” from which there is no return’ ' .

        An adolescent in GIDS has all of this to navigate, while simultaneously contemplating – indeed often actively requesting – medical interventions which intervene in puberty and may in many (as yet 'unknown) ways interact with these very developmental processes.'

        ' A retrospective chart review of referrals to GIDS 2009–2016 (n=4148) showed that the vast majority of referrals were adolescents, with the sex ratio favouring female-bodied young people (1:2.1) in this age group (Carmichael, 2018).'

        'There was a sharp increase in referrals, with referrals for male-bodied adolescents increasing by 55% on average each year and for female-bodied adolescents by 105% over this 7-year period (Carmichael, 2018).'

        'the majority of the young people had not received a formal diagnosis of GD prior to coming to GIDS, and [...]this contributed to their capacity to engage with an extended and exploratory assessment process through which an individualised formulation could be co-created.'
