Gender identity clinic accused of fast-tracking young adults

Gender identity clinic accused of fast-tracking young adults Tavistock Centre launches review amid parents’ fears over pace of transitioning decisions

Britain’s only NHS gender identity service for children is reviewing its operations amid claims made by a senior member of staff that it is failing to examine fully the psychological and social reasons behind young people’s desire to change gender.

The views are shared by a group of parents of transgender children, who have raised their own concerns that the Tavistock Centre’s gender identity development service (GIDS) in London is “fast-tracking” young people into life-altering decisions without fully assessing their personal histories.
