What a ridiculous and irresponsible claim to make Liam. When did we get to a place where suicide is used as a threat like that? You don't give children life altering drugs with irreversible side effects because they might commit suicide otherwise, when did we get to this point? What the NHS are saying is that they need to explore more thoroughly what's going on in that young persons head before setting them on such an extreme pathway. The reason why the Tavistock is being closed is because there was no other areas of the young persons problems looked at other than their gender claims and evidence strongly suggests that a lot of those claiming to be trans in recent years are autistic and probably not actually trans at all. What is the actual issue in making sure that they are trans before giving them drugs that will cause sterilisation and life long medicalisation? I don't understand why you're so against making sure first?
