The closure of a London clinic will help children who identify as trans
transgender rights in Britain tends to be fought either loudly, on social media, or hidden from view, inside organisations. But official inquiries and the law courts are increasingly bringing rigorous public scrutiny to bear on these controversial issues. That scrutiny resulted in two victories this week for those who say self-proclaimed gender identity should not trump biological sex.
On July 28th the National Health Service (nhs) announced that it would close the Gender and Identity Development Service (gids) at the Tavistock foundation trust in London. England's only specialist youth gender-identity clinic, gids was known globally as a centre for treating trans-identifying children up to the age of 18. It had seen a huge rise in numbers seeking help. More than 5,000 children were referred to specialist gender services in the year to April 2022. Some children had been waiting years to see a specialist.
