Since the surprise announcement last November that a trial of puberty blockers had been approved by regulators, there has been a vigorous campaign to get ethical approval revoked.
As soon as you started talking about the "wrong puberty" I knew you were a wrong 'un :-)
Gillick competency has to be used with caution in patients with mental health disorders and gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder. Many of the children who present with this are also autistic. Doesn't that make you stop and think?
No, she is not licenced to practice in the UK. Doctors have to revalidate their fitness to practice certificate every 5 years and she didn't, so it was revoked in 2024.
My impression is that virtually no children who are prescribed puberty blockers cease taking them in time for the ability of a normal puberty to resume to be tested. In other words, is there any actual evidence that puberty blocking is reversible, as is frequently claimed?
Hasn't Helen Webberly been struck off?

According to the American Psychiatric Association, it's psychiatric disorder.

Your link refers to gender incongruence and dates from 2019. Mine refers to gender dysphoria and is dated 2025.
My mistake, it was her husband who was struck off. She has merely lost her licence to practice in the UK.

Great round up and well organised together with LGB Alliance and WRN.
My wife and I were there and miraculously got to speak to our MP's assistant ...after waiting for two hours!

Hi Dougie
No there isn't is the answer

'Correct gender aligned puberty'
What utter bs. Its not possible to go through puberty of the opposite sex. Girls given blockers and testosterone do not magically grow testicles.
And 'people' do not have endometriosis, women do.
