If I see one more hot take about Gillick competence being compromised bc the Court decided medicine is not a supermarket I will scream.
Gillick competence onky refers to children being able to consent to treatment that's already judged to be helpful to them. PBs are NOT it.

To reply to misogynistic scaremongering about women and girls being denied abortions on the basis of judgement https://twitter.com/lascapigliata8/status/1334823452918878208

To reply to those who are treating this as "buyers regret", I repeat, medicine is not a supermarket, we have duty of care to do no harm, and experimental treatments that cause iatrogenic illness to achieve extreme body modification in children are harmful.

Instead of indulging in narcissistic rage I implore gender identity lobby to use their considerable resources to help fund supportive psychotherapy in the short term and to lobby for more resources to CAMHS in the long term, which are the only interventions known to help.

Also, fear-mongering, irresponsible rhetoric around self-harm and suicide and other unethical activism by medical and other professionals who are embroiled in the scandal of masculinising girls and feminising boys by means of iatrogenic illness needs to stop now.
