Work with trans kids is not my primary specialty, though part of my adolescent medicine fellowship comprised healthcare for trans youth. Nobody, but nobody, tries to rush trans kids into any kind of treatment, and it is a poisonous slander to say otherwise.

Every last one of my trans patients transitioned at a pace that was right for them, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and medical providers want only to give these kids the compassionate and comprehensive healthcare they need and deserve.

Clinicians from the GIDS service at Tavistock expressed those concerns, so, no, it's not wholly and categorically false. If you want to claim those clinicians are wrong about practices in their workplace that you didn't work at, fine, but you cannot claim they don't exist.

UK Trans healthcare is so abysmal its effectively state sponsored conversion therapy. Adolescents seen now were referred 27 months ago. Projected wait of those referred today is 4 years. There's long gatekeeping by psychologists/therapists & a mandatory 12 months on blockers.

As someone just about to get a referral for a gender identity clinic this stresses me out so much.. 4 more years just to get to a point where I might actually start liking myself. Fun.
