A former NHS psychologist has launched a new gender clinic for children, despite the uproar over allegedly prescribing puberty blockers to a teenage girl simply because she liked Thomas The Tank Engine. The Mail has the story.
The private service, which charges £1,500 to assess under-18s for gender dysphoria, has been set up by Dr. Heather Wood, who for years worked at the scandal-hit Tavistock gender identity clinic.
The London centre was shut down in March after a damning review declared it “unsafe” over its use of puberty-blocking drugs on vulnerable young people.
The NHS also banned prescribing the powerful drugs to children.
Dr. Wood’s new clinic does not currently offer such prescriptions, but its website says it is in discussions to do so with independent providers.
Dr. Wood is understood to have received a large taxpayer-funded payout when the Tavistock closed, and opened Dignity Gender Assessment Services in Leeds a few weeks ago.
Previously a whistleblower at the Tavistock claimed Dr. Wood had recommended giving a teenage girl puberty blockers after they said they had liked a Thomas The Tank Engine train in early childhood.
The whistleblower claimed Dr. Wood had called her “transphobic” when she raised concerns.

Why has this woman not been struck off?
Yes unscrupulous and unethical, these doctors are making money off the young and vulnerable who are caught up and fall victim to this toxic cult. One of the doctors was struck off on this list featured here, but it’s crazy how easy it is to just go and set up shop privately;
”Dr Aidan Kelly is now director at Gender Plus, a private provider of gender treatment in the UK which operates next to a chicken shop in Hackney, London.
He’s one of a number of former Tavistock gender care specialists who have gone on to set up their own private practice.
While the clinic doesn’t offer puberty blockers, it does offer sex hormone injections to adolescents, aged over 16, wanting to change gender.
It also offers ‘gender assessment appointments’ for ‘children, adolescent and adults’.”

Because nobody with the authority to do so has been brave enough.
Why does she persist?
What is “gender dysphoria”? If “gender” exists outside of the world of grammar, isn’t it entirely self-defined and infinitely variable and meaningless? How can you be dysphoric by saying “I’m me”? Isn’t what people mean by “gender dysphoria” actually “sex dysphoria”? Can we please stop making it easy for our enemies to cause confusion?
Not sure I like the look of her, is this legal? Can anyone just set up a child abuse clinic?
Is it legal to not like the look of her? I bloody well hope so!
Is it legal to say that you don’t like the look of her? Probably not.
As you said you weren’t sure about not liking the look of her, you’re probably OK.
It seems that criminals can abuse children, but that does not answer your last question.
From the extract of the article It’s not clear if the picture is of the psychologist or a
victimpatient.The Daily Mail doing their bit to enable the actions of this woman be referring to the teenage girl as ‘they’ rather than the rightful, sensible and normal ‘she’.
Let’s see, we still to this day cannot buy, over the counter, ivermectin. But hormone disruptor drugs and treatment available from this woman? How is that possible?
