What happened at the Tavistock Clinic?
Between 2010 and 2020, London’s Tavistock gender service saw a 4 000 % rise in teenage girls asking to become boys.
"Tavistock Clinic in London has had a 4000% increase in young women presenting as ftm… and it’s the same all over the world." – westernskies93 source [citation:34d5db41-dee1-4f80-b3d5-ee9977b7e395]
Why did clinicians quit?
Doctors and therapists resigned, saying assessments were too short and sloppy.
"The governor of the Tavistock foundation… resigned on ethical grounds." – lacroicsz5 source [citation:152b063f-5626-4b35-a5bc-f397be754e23]
A psychotherapist who worked there adds:
"Some people are obtaining a diagnosis and subsequent treatments… after much less than 6-10 sessions." – Movellon source [citation:45c854bd-f183-4346-bc73-69000b7ad12c]
Who else was involved?
It wasn’t one rogue doctor. Surgeons, endocrinologists, therapists and social workers all had to agree.
"It takes a multidisciplinary medical team to make mistakes this big." – Embarrassed_Chest76 source [citation:b25561d0-8002-46ff-b2be-695b906a8ede]
What do detransitioners say?
They call it the biggest medical scandal of our time and predict history will rank it with Tuskegee or the satanic panic.
"Eventually there will be an entry in Wikipedia titled ‘The infamous child-transition experiment’." – tole_chandelier source [citation:81718b99-3281-4fe7-a542-7e29df6ef00c]
Take-away
The Tavistock story is a warning: when society rushes children into gender roles, the whole medical chain can fail. Listening longer, questioning more, and letting kids grow into non-conforming selves without drugs or surgery is the safer, kinder path.
