Presently subject to an investigation as a result of whistleblowers, parents, and patients blaming it of rushing children, particularly girls, into medical treatment for suspected gender dysphoria, the Tavistock is now supposed to be shut down by Spring 2023 after the pediatrician leading the investigation declared some of her recommendations early — most notably that GIDS is “not a safe or viable long-term option” for its patients and should be replaced.
Reports by outlets like The Telegraph are now looking back on 18 years of whistleblowing and criticisms regarding the National Health Service (NHS) clinic and the way it resisted all attempts to make it change its ways all the way up to the High Court.

Some Tavistock clinicians were even blamed for “converting” youngsters who were probably same-sex attracted or bisexual into thinking they were actually trans.
The notionally right-leaning newspaper recalled how whistleblower Susan Evans had been fobbed off as long ago as 2004 after expressing concern that a 16-year-old boy had been referred for hormones after a mere four appointments. Another worried clinician, Kirsty Entwistle, was branded “transphobic” for questioning the reality that an autistic girl enjoying Thomas the Tank Engine was used as evidence that she was trans.

Evans further highlighted the “tremendous pressure” the Tavistock was put under by trans activist lobby groups like the controversial Mermaids organization, which has campaigned for puberty blockers to be given to 12-year-olds and claimed dubiously that their effects are “completely reversible”.

Indeed, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, the Members of Parliament (MPs) currently vying to succeed the outgoing Boris Johnson as Conservative (Tory) Party leader and, by extension, Prime Minister, have replied to the Tavistock’s looming shutdown by implying that they might ban the NHS from inflicting hormone therapy on gender-confused children outright, asked whether it is safe to let them make such “life-altering” decisions at a young age.

“We have a responsibility to those under 18 to shield them from irreversible decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives. As Prime Minister, I would review access to puberty blockers to ensure we are maintaining the right checks and balances in the system to protect our young people,” announced Truss, somewhat equivocally.

Sunak’s position was a little more forthright, with a spokesman for the former Chancellor of the Exchequer stating that “[c]hildren should not be rushed down irreversible medical pathways, and under-18s should be protected from life-altering treatments.”
