This is going to bug me... because this number could've increased for a variety of reasons. Safety of puberty blocks, education and quality of trans healthcare. The language has changed in the last 20 years.

Amazing that people are falling for this drivel. - oh no, they might be on *medication*! How terrible! - "girls as young as 18" - 18 is an adult, and the bulk of referrals are age 16+; - the GIDS provides e.g. egg freezing to young people starting hormones.

As for the rest, I'd rather give a young adult a chance to state their own mind than think that some rando on Twitter knows better than they do.

Referrals sounds like kids joining onto the waiting list, maybe? Rather than kids who get anywhere near GIDS.

These transphobic pop-up lobby groups really need to dial back on the anti-trans spin!
