The Tavistock Effect on Gender Dysphoria

Finnish public health agency declared that gender reassignment of minors is an experimental practice. First line treatment for gender dysphoria should be mainstream mental health care and support at school, says Barnes. At the Tavistock, things had proceeded in a very different way. In 2016, GIDS researchers gave an in-house presentation of preliminary findings from the early intervention study of puberty blockers at younger ages. These children said they were happy to be on blockers, but more objective measures of self-harm,. suicidal ideation, and body image appeared to have either flatlined or deteriorated.
