This is brilliant work again JL - thank you. The Charity Commission, police and a few others should be looking at what you have painstakingly done for them.

How is Polly still in any role at all? They are still fobbing us all off and sticking to their guns. She and a few other still there still have serious questions to answer. How did the NHS, NHS England, the CQC and the DoH let this happen? It's negligence and repeated negligence. They asked Mermaids and Susie in, knowing full well that there was no clinical or 'medical' basis for doing so as she is not a professional - she is a lobbyist. There was no evidence to underpin their interventions or policy - it's all based on fluff or a misreading and deliberate misreading of the evidence and research. Or they didn't collect then failed to analyse what they did and do have. They allowed the gaps to appear, so where did the buck stop? This is a classic case of people avoiding responsibility, accountability and then scrutiny. Then pointing at each other and saying it's all their fault.

The fact that doctors were not sending their child patients there and wouldn't refer and yet this was fought and overruled by good old no relevant qualifications Susie is utterly scandalous, no wonder they didn't want to hand over the proof.

Why did the NHS gender clinic give trans ideology a green light? Who was paid?

This all stinks to high heaven and beyond. How on earth was this allowed to happen? The police should definitely get involved.

The GMC needs to be investigating the doctors involved.

Why isn’t Susie Green in jail for child abuse?

Others have commented elsewhere about whether perjury was committed during cases where Mermaids testified. Might there also have been perjury by GIDS in other court cases when it claimed only to have made clinical decisions based only on medical advice. Just a thought

Many thanks JL. Saw what you did there - a (Susie) Green light!

I hope the Charity Commission is taking note of this attempt to hide the evidence.

I have knowledge I'm unfortunately unable to share at present, but the GMC have worked with GLADD and Stonewall to produce guidance for trans patients: see e.g. https://www.gmc-uk.org/news/news-archive/new-guide-for-lgbt-patients-on-what-to-expect-from-their-doctor. They link to Stonewall and the LGBT Foundation on their website: https://www.gmc-uk.org/ethical-guidance/patient-guides-and-materials/LGBT-patient-guide.

Thanks as ever, JL.

This is so clearly a medical scandal and is crying out for a public inquiry.

Can we get a medal struck for Hannah Barnes?

I posted in some detail about this last night but will cross post this again.

Thanks again

The more we hear about controversial Mermaids, the more concerned we become!

May the long arm of the law reach out to Susie Green. Despicable woman, and Polly Carmichael. Both complicit in this scandal.

Green is very high on my list of people for whom there is nothing too bad that can happen to them.

Hannah Barnes said that the Tavistock depended on GIDS for the revenue it brought in.
