Dr David Bell, a consultant psychiatrist...said: “...the mere fact of referral is consequential. 
“It risks the child’s difficulties being viewed by themselves and their family as primarily to do with gender. Labelling the problem as a gender problem can easily be the first step on a pathway to medical transition.
“My view is that certainly for the younger ages, children should be managed within the context of the ordinary Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services... 
“Their difficulties should not be designated as a gender problem, it is much more appropriate that they be seen as individuals who are distressed and this is one way in which that distress is expressed.”
Brilliant.

Western nations are morally, spiritually and economically bankrupt. The barbarians are inside the gates and have captured most governments and institutions. We are watching western civilization being destroyed from within and with virtually no resistance.

This is SATANIC abomination and it didn’t come from the Mooselimbs. It came from post-Christian failed Western nation states libtards & pddos. They are now preying on children and most parents don’t care. They just want their Taco Bell & weed.

The West is a largely combination of spiritually dead and Satanic. It’s finished.

I agree. It’s beyond frustrating.

Seems like most of you who posted to the thread based on the headline did not read the good news in the article. Based on a lack of solid clinical evidence, England (and several other nations of Europe) have backed away from rushing confused children directly to gender transition. This is a good thing!

England's National Health Service (NHS) controls the vast majority of healthcare for English citizens. It is a socialist, dictatorial system in which many have died because their symptoms were overlooked or their treatments failed, and their courts would not allow the patient to seek care in the U.S. or elsewhere.

The NHS Tavistock Clinic had been promoting transgender hormones and surgeries on children for decades; however, Tavistock was successfully sued by a detransitioner, and was closed. This article says the NHS has set up a program of treating children with mental health therapy instead of rushing them into transition.

The headline "trans treatment" refers to emotional and health therapy. NHS is not even going to allow children below the age of seven to receive any treatment labeled "gender", for fear of affirming the child's delusion. They will receive counseling.

Meanwhile in the U.S., transgender ideology in schools and healthcare systems remains widespread, government mandated, promoted and in many ways funded by the Biden administration. But as far back as ten years ago, many U.S. states banned "conversion therapy" for gender-confused patients and the campaign against viewing homosexuality as a clinical illness, thereby suppressing research and treatments, goes back to the 1970s.

Never forget that most of the mainstream media are very pro-LGBT; hence the misleading headline.

The US is also extreme compared to Europe in the case of late term abortions. Brits are astounded when they hear about 3rd trimester abortion up to to and after birth.

You are correct, I was responding to the headline without checking veracity.
