5,500 children are now on NHS waiting list for gender swap treatment after post-lockdown surge in demand
Daily Mail ^ | March 19, 2022 | Glen Owen and Georgia Edkins

The number of children lining up for gender-change treatment on the NHS has soared by more than a fifth since the Covid lockdowns, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

According to new meeting minutes uncovered by this newspaper, there are about 5,500 children on the waiting list for treatment at the controversial Tavistock and Portman Trust's Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) in London.

Senior figures at the NHS trust have expressed fears 'the list had grown substantially during the lockdown' and admitted it was a huge 'preoccupation' for the Board of Trustees.

Last night, Stephanie Davies-Arai founder of campaign group Transgender Trend said of the possible impact of lockdowns: 'Life stopped really, so adolescents at that stage in their lives, where they're really searching for their identity, turn online.

'They're bombarded with messages about being trans and that all of their problems and insecurities and anxieties are because they're trans.'

The new figure of 5,500 is a massive increase on an estimate of the waiting list made last year.

In January 2021, the Care Quality Commission reported after inspecting GIDS that the list was 4,600.

Vlad is too busy murdering innocent children to be concerned with this.

There is NO ‘gender swap’ treatment!, only child abuse.

Can a country with reproduction rates far below replacement levels afford to sterilize it’s children?

Can a socialized healthcare system that struggles to keep up with Norma demands on its system afford to divert its resources to injuring its youngest citizens?

He’s probably killed five million of them right now, right...

Anyway you could put it this way from the perspective of those opposing “gender affirming” gender reassignment treatments etc. etc....

“Vladimir Putin kills children while Boris Johnson butchers and mutilates them”

That would seem a fair and balanced perspective.

Very bizarre that you would joke about the number being killed.

People who do this to kids should be flogged.

“They can swap with each other? That’s efficient.”

They’d have to match as in organ transplants, but they could always switch back if they later change their minds.

At NHS, it’d be free!

Not really trying to make the point that truth is also a casualty in war as well as the dead and wounded.

Why exaggerate the horror of war?

This is because the exaggeration is designed to incite its readers to join in the hatred and violence.

Sometimes the exaggeration is an outright lie like the British Intelligence story about the Germans in Belgium tossing babies in their bayonets during World War I.

This was published in US newspapers to make Americans angry and want to join in World War I.

You mention PASTOR NIEMOLLER in your tag line but from what you’ve written, dont seem to understand the essence of his most famous quote.

There should be a massive shortage of millstones.

There is a shortage. From lack of use, they turned to sand.

How many have a father at home?

I’m guessing very, very low.

And a married mother and father.

And how many have homosexuals for parents?

“Never before in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few’’.

From that generation to this.

Good God Almighty what has happened to the British?

Every one of their parents that goes along with this needs to immediately be arrested and sent to jail for the rest of their life and the child needs to be taken out of that home and given to two parents a man and a woman who will genuinely love this child as it should be

Most of the parents would be sent to jail if they intervene.

Get off your moral pedestal. The children killed by Putin are accidental casualties of war. His enemies in the USA and the UK are aborting, i.e., killing, and sexually mutilating their own kids.
