For anyone wondering what #IStandWithKeiraBell is, some anti-LGBT people are trying to sue the NHS to stop them from being able to give medical treatment like transition to under 18s, it could also affect abortion access and contraception. It& #39;ll harm a lot of kids if they win

The fact that transition is has been the internationally recommended medical treatment for trans kids for decades isn& #39;t really important to them. The principle they are up against is called Gillick Competence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillick_competence">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill...

It sounds unlikely they& #39;ll win but it& #39;s certainly not impossible. This is about whether they can do some legal wrangling to override the experts, doctors and science. It& #39;s pretty scary tbh

For anyone looking for some facts specifically about transition and detransition, read this. The main two to realise are that detransition rates are less than 1% and that once kids get to puberty they are almost certain to have Gender Dysphoria for life https://medium.com/@KatyMontgomerie/jkrs-claims-part-8-desistance-detransition-and-if-i-were-a-kid-today-i-would-have-been-transed-464093e42061">https://medium.com/@KatyMont...
