This talk by Rachel Cashman from our CAN-SG 2024 conference refers to the "classroom to clinic" pipeline in Brighton vimeo.com/938207719?share=co…

(🧵) It's long been baffling to me why there has been ANY suggestion at all that NHS England or NHS Sussex only knew of concerns about the prescribing of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones by Dr Sam Hall in 2024. It's demonstrably false.
As presented at the employment tribunal Redvers Vs NHS Sussex today, former Sussex CEO Adam Doyle was personally told about a "disabled, vulnerable child" who was 16 year old, receiving hormones without the parents' knowledge in 2023. This is the same child that I call "Charlotte" in my book, Time to Think. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first time the WellBN GP practice/Dr Hall's prescribing practices were reported publicly.

This is beyond shocking - that a GP doing her safeguarding duties should have been treated so abysmally while the person she raised concerns about was promoted, until a belated investigation proved that her concerns were justified.
The failure of the NHS commissioning and regulatory bodies and their collusion in ignoring, silencing and punishing those raising safeguarding concerns is a major scandal.

Protecting Children: The NHS Sussex controversy

NHS Sussex and NHS England were formally warned Brighton trans doctor was out of control in 2020, documents show. Whistleblower alleges unknown number of children harmed as eventual investigation (which began in 2025) had limited scope.

🚨Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,” she told me.
The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated.
Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s GIDS.
Me for the Sunday Times…

🚨THIS is what @10DowningStreet @DHSCgovuk should be prioritising - a public inquiry to pull the #NHS back from its near total capture by gender ideology.
❌ NOT introducing amateur & unnecessary #ConversionPractices criminal legislation which will only reinforce that capture.
“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, & indeed young adults has failed,” Baroness Hilary Cass told The Sunday Times".
@UKLabour eventually caught up that we were right about Self-ID being incompatible with single-sex provision, the scandal at GIDS etc.
It will possibly catch up soon that we're also right about the harms of the CP Ban Bill & the need to tackle transactivist/Stonewall ideological capture of the NHS, govt & public bodies...
But hell's teeth, it's hard work...

Indeed, the @ScotGovFM is FAR TOO BUSY saying he cares about women to meet the women who forced him to remove male murders from women's prisons where they were locked up with some of the most vulnerable women in Scotland.
Take it @JohnSwinney still hasn't agreed to meet you? Still? Presume he's scared because he will have to make concrete commitments? @ScotGovFM
"This is a test case not just about an iconic, historic and important single-sex space for women in London but about how the law on single-sex services works everywhere." @SexMattersOrg need our help - please donate if you can, and share widely.

As activists in the Labour and trade union movement we stand firmly with our FWS sisters. We are stalwarts of trade unions - among us are current and former workplace reps, committee members, branch officers, builders of picket lines, you name it. We want unions to support women.
Joy! Now @SeanCMBell, who boasts of bylines in @bellacaledonia & @ScotNational joins in the @NASUWT pile-on.
No we are "wildly hostile" to a failure to support women in the workplace. That's not being hostile to Unions, it's objecting to a failure to fulfil their obligations.
At least deal with what we actually say rather than invent malign intent.

Are they amending the Draft as they go along? It’s an utter mess @andyburnham and we are pretty sure it doesn’t pass the Makerfield Test.
Bridget Phillipson says the conversion practices bill won't target parents.
There is nothing on the face of the bill that says parents are protected.
She says the test is “serious physical or psychological harm”.
In fact the bill sets the test much lower at “serious alarm or distress…which has a substantial adverse effect on their usual day-to-day activities”.
This could easily capture parents who don't let their child wear a binder or go out dressed as the opposite sex.

'The Scottish government’s lawyers were arguing against us in court very recently for biological men to remain in female jails, failed to support a bill criminalising the purchase of sex and remain silent on men being placed in women’s wards in hospitals.
‘Perhaps instead of soundbites announcing new legislation that will not address the root causes, they should do the hard work around it.’
