Resisting trans orthodoxy. My transidentifying daughter changed her mind but trans traumatised her. Sensible debate on gender confusion & intervention is needed
Today I had cause to describe the damage & scars my daughter still endures following her years of #ROGD She is angry transactivists were allowed to run school training days without any credentials as educators. Parents, find out who talks to children in your school #ROGDWEEK2018
Referring to NHS adult gender identity clinics
15/04/2026 Baroness Merron: "There are strong safeguards within the existing service provision and specification"
18/12/2025 Dr David Levy: "The absence of any patient outcomes data, alongside limited and inconsistent quality data reporting, and minimal clinical audit makes it impossible to properly understand patient outcomes and the safety of these services."

New report shows many schools are still in thrall to gender identity ideology, socially transitioning children in school and compromising the rights & safeguarding of other children.

Most parents who come to me have already tried the logical approach. They’ve done the research. They’ve printed out studies on the risks of cross-sex hormones. They’ve found detransition stories. They’ve prepared talking points. And they’ve presented all of this to their bright, articulate teenager — who dismissed every bit of it without breaking a sweat.
This is one of the most disorienting experiences for parents, especially parents of smart kids. You’re thinking: she’s intelligent, she values evidence, she’s a critical thinker in other areas of life. So surely, if I just present the right information in the right way, she’ll see reason.
But that’s not how any of this works. And understanding why is the key to everything else we do in ROGD Repair.
Why persuasion backfires
When you try to convince your child that their gender identity is wrong, you’re not just challenging an idea. You’re threatening something that has become structurally important to their psychology. The identity is doing something for them — protecting them from fears, giving them a sense of belonging, providing an explanation for discomfort they don’t otherwise know how to name. It’s what I call a load-bearing delusion. And when you attack a load-bearing wall, the whole structure feels like it’s going to collapse.
So their response isn’t rational, even if they dress it up in rational language. It’s defensive. It’s survival. And every time you come at them with another argument, another article, another “have you considered” — you’re giving them another opportunity to practice defending the position. You’re actually strengthening the neural pathways associated with the belief.
On top of that, there’s the adolescent ego to contend with. Teenagers have a deep, almost biological need to see themselves as autonomous, independent thinkers. If you say “you’ve been misled” or “you’re being naive,” there is an automatic wall that comes up. Not because what you’re saying is wrong, but because admitting you’re right would mean admitting they were foolish — and their ego can’t tolerate that.
The dandelion seed
So what do you do instead? You plant seeds. Tiny ones. And you walk away.

The Good Law Project going after this tiny group of volunteers has resulted in Protect and Teach gaining more followers. They now have even more support to rid schools of gender ideology…
I wrote about how keeping Girlguiding single sex will hurt children who've been lied to by adults - but to minimise it the liars need to stop lying https://t.co/Z9UdIUcGr1
Tanya Carter said: “We welcome this long overdue legal action against @BrightonHoveCC ; they have been in dereliction of their #safeguarding duties for years… it’s utterly ludicrous that a boy would be allowed into the girls’ changing rooms. If a head teacher cannot see this, they…should be removed from post.”

Only under 18?
“However, cross-sex hormones do not become any less harmful on a patient’s 18th birthday. There is mounting evidence of the long-term adverse effects which include heart disease, stroke and early mortality.”/1 https://t.co/j6gS9DodE2
There must be accountability for years of inaction over cross-sex hormones. NHS puberty blocker trials must be stopped @wesstreeting Parents long ago raised alarms about the lack of an evidence base in gender medicine. Children and young people are being harmed. #FirstDoNoHarm
We are pleased to see medical experts speaking out about the dangers of prescribing cross-sex hormones. We hope this ban will swiftly be extended to private providers - including GenderGP who operate online from overseas.

Families have paid a heavy price for years of inaction on cross-sex hormones. Reports about the lack of evidence and potential harms go back many years and were confirmed by the 2020 NICE systematic evidence reviews that informed Cass.
The NHS's decision raises more questions than answers:
* What action will the government now take on private providers and unregulated sources?
* What provision is the NHS making for the children harmed by these interventions?
* What does the withdrawal of cross-sex-hormones mean for the puberty blocker trial, which will generate a new cohort of patients for a treatment now confirmed to lack an evidence base?
* Where is the evidence that CSH become safe and effective at 18+?

Long overdue ban on cross sex hormones for children. I've been raising the alarm on this for a decade. Children's bodies, minds and lives have been egregiously harmed #FirstDoNoHarm https://t.co/9pvSmTfLdh
