LAST month the BBC’s Newsnight programme joined a growing media focus on the work of the Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), which is the only service for gender dysphoric children and adolescents in the UK.
Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person feels discomfort and unhappiness over their biological sex.
The controversy the Newsnight report explored was in relation to the Tavistock’s early intervention study (or the puberty blockers trial as it’s known), which in a trial group reduced the age at which GIDS prescribed puberty blockers to treat dysphoria from age 16 to 12.
