A psychologist who worked at a controversial NHS gender transition clinic for children feared they were performing ‘conversion therapy for gay kids’.
A new book reveals how Dr Matt Bristow, who worked at the Tavistock Clinic’s Gender Identity Development Service (Gids) for five years, raised concerns that boys and girls who said they wanted to change sex might simply be gay.
He warned gay children were ‘pushed down another path’, towards transitioning, and that there was a ‘reluctance’ from the Gids leadership to engage properly with sexuality.
And the doctor claimed that many heterosexual members of staff ‘just didn’t realise’ that many gender non-conforming behaviours applied just as much to children who grew up to be gay, lesbian or bisexual as to children who would grow up to be trans.
Examples include things like cross-dressing, feeling different, not necessarily fitting in with other children of their own sex, or having friends predominantly of the opposite sex, he said.
Staff at the centre even joked there would be ‘no gay people left at the rate Gids was going’, it was claimed.
Dr Bristow, who was openly gay when he joined the service, said when he raised concerns it was suggested to him that homosexual staff ‘weren’t professionally distant enough’. Gids deny this claim.
He made his accusations to Newsnight journalist Hannah Barnes, who spoke to dozens of clinicians who worked at the service for her new book, which has been seen by the Daily Mail.
‘Bristow came to feel that Gids was performing “conversion therapy for kids”’, she writes. ‘It is a serious claim.
‘Some clinicians have relayed how there was even a dark joke in the Gids team that there would be no gay people left at the rate Gids was going.

So why isn't the gay community complaining?
Why just one gay worker at this facility?
There’s no such thing as “gay teens”. There are teens who have been sexually abused and groomed. Transitioning is just another step in the abuse.
That’s right. I’d like to throw those cretins harming those confused teenagers off of a tall building like the muzzies do!
My goodness - how will they decide who the bigots are with this one? The ones saying they should be trans vs. gay, or gay vs. trans?
So you can’t “push them down the path” to normalcy, but it’s perfectly alright to “push them down the path” from one deviancy to another.
Only in Bizzaro World.
Kill them all.
With so many lives destroyed, in the future this episode in medical malfeasance will be the Thalidomide of the early 21st century. Knowingly deforming children is perhaps even worse.
Thalidomide? No more like Lobotomies. Remember when those were the rage? One doctor, Walter Freeman traveled the country in the 1930’s doing them out of a van called “the lobotomobile. Today they are not done, I think they are banned.
They push them into being gay then push them into being trans.
Tavistock got closed because of these scandals and I believe the UK stopped medicating minors.
Better analogy, you’re right. Only difference, the procedure was a legitimate last resort in a tiny number of cases but, just my opinion, became the fashion because it made life easier for the “professionals caring” for the troubled patients. Can’t really justify chemical or surgical castration and other atrocities performed on children. Evil, pure and simple.
Because they just want children to abuse. They don't care what body parts have been removed or added, so long as there is still an entry hole. Sorry, but it's really quite simple, and evil.
Exactly-
A long time ago, the homo community realized they need to attack it from all angles if they want to change social perceptions of them, change the laws, etc.
Kids have been getting targeted for years.
One of the realizations was that you need to get them young! That is when social values form and if you get them at these ages, you can make them think such behavior is normal.
They pushed their homo agenda in the schools already 15 years ago via a curriculum that essentially normalizes their behavior and in fact labels people in opposition as bad: https://www.lgbtqhistory.org/about-fair-education-act/ California is important because they are the most populous state and most school textbooks are written with their standards in mind. When California adopted this in 2011, most other states also got it, even if folks were not really aware of that.
They hired marketing firms, lobbyists, lawyers, got Hollywood on board... targeted kids in public schools...
Do you think it is mere coincidence that they began calling themselves “gay,” a word that used to be a synonym for happy is used by a community that has an extremely high suicide rate, depression, etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFtb3EtjEic&t=30s
Likewise, the use of the rainbow as their symbol is no coincidence or accident.
What you’re seeing today is simply a natural progression as things are taken further and further and it’s not just with kids, it’s also in health care. For example, in the US you can get PrEP through the government, prescribed for free, which costs the tax payer $1,750 per month per person. This is allegedly to prevent HIV. But the truth is HIV can be prevented by using a 50 cent condom, sex is all together not required to live, and specifically anal sex is a choice.

If you have AIDS, you can get HUD to help pay your mortgage or rent: https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/comm_planning/hopwa But screw you if you have heart or kidney disease, cancer or dementia.
Meanwhile, in the US, you have folks that have diseases where they have no choice, where it’s not a consequence of behavior and there was no alternative, that are not getting federal aid for their ailment.
The point I’m trying to make is that the ridiculous nature of the LGBTQIA community and what they are demanding or get in terms of entitlements is not just limited to youth and schools, it’s pervasive in other aspects as well, i.e. health care, federal job recruiting, etc. Today you have the recruiters of most federal agencies targeting homo venues to recruit. What does that do to the you straight man? Do federal agencies go to religious venues to recruit? Hell no! How about a gun show? Nope. Rodeo? Nope. You will not even see the DOJ at some VET venues recruiting, but you will see them with a booth where folks show up wearing leather straps and on all four.

Frankly, hats off to them. They show how one can turn around an image, win in the political/legal arena, and ultimately get what you want if you have a coordinated multi-year strategy that approaches it from all angles. I do not agree with them, but they won.
pushed, as in past tense... right
Even worse when they say gay and trans "children".
How would a child know anything about sex or gender, unless they were abused, groomed and / or brainwashed?
There’s no such thing as “gay teens”. There are teens who have been sexually abused and groomed. Transitioning is just another step in the abuse.
