“We know next to nothing about the 9000 to 10 000 children who have gone through the Gender Identity Development Service”. Hannah Barnes, Author of Time To Think and former Newsnight producer discusses the Cass Report #Newsnight
@BBCNewsnight Great. Now apologise to @Glinner
@BBCNewsnight No mention at all that, as well as care for children, the Cass report is recommending that no-one aged 18-25 should be allowed to access adult gender clinics. If implemented, this will restrict young trans adults' bodily autonomy & condemn them to poor mental health & suicides.
@BBCNewsnight Hannah did fantastic work at Newsnight, but this interview with Sarah Smith and Graham Lineman re The Tavistock was one of the worst interviews I've ever witnessed. You really should apologise or have him back on. youtube.com/watch?v=e79k6L…
@BBCNewsnight As usual no representation from trans people to debate what is actually their right to existence and the care needed within the NHS in helping them to live as themselves.
Why is no one talking to the families and (now adult) children who were helped by GIDs ? Hannah Barnes book does not say anything about those people. There were stories about people suing the Tavistock but no reports of that since. I have a copy of the book for download @vicderbyshire - where are the trans voices in this story ?
@BBCNewsnight Staunch supporter of the BBC all my life. ‘Better late than never’ is not appropriate here. Your reluctance to speak the truth on this has caused harm to young, confused kids and sensible people to be called ‘far right.’
@BBCNewsnight And, outside of Newsnight, where has the @BBCNews been? x.com/grumpyow/statu…

@BBCNewsnight A Frankenstein social experiment on kids. Unforgivably wrong on every level. Just let people choose when they are adults!
@BBCNewsnight @saralikeclara Barnes and Nolan aside, the BBC has been largely complicit in a medical atrocity. You can’t even make a programme about space aliens without including adult men dressed as schoolgirls.
