Since 2011, specialists at The Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service in London have seen more than 1,000 under-18s. Is it a coincidence that The Tavistock Centre was actually developed alongside its twin the Tavistock Institute, which is involved in mind control and social engineering?

Five whistleblowing workers at the only NHS<\/strong><\/a> transgender clinic in Britain have quit over fears children as young as three are going through unnecessary gender reassignment treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The clinicians from the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) clinic based in London<\/strong><\/a> and Leeds left over concerns children were being incorrectly diagnosed with gender dysphoria.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was feared some gay children struggling with their sexual identity are being incorrectly diagnosed as transgender.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specialists also worried that some of the youngsters were being referred and pressured into having gender change treatment after suffering homophobic bullying.<\/span><\/p>\n

All five former staff members were part of the team deciding if youngsters should be given hormone blockers to stop their development before puberty, according to the Times<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The patients then take a course of cross-sex hormones at the age of 16 depending on whether they want to develop as male or female.<\/span><\/p>\n

At least 18 staff have reportedly quit the controversial clinic over the past three years, citing fears not enough checks are being done to correctly diagnose child patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the five whistleblowers even said the only reason many stayed in their post was to prevent more children from having the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Referrals to the clinic risen in recent years, with 94 in 2010, rising to 2,519 by last year, with the youngest patient aged just three.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the clinicians told The Times: ‘I felt for the last two years what kept me in the job was the sense there was a huge number of children in danger.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I was there to protect children from being damaged.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Experts fear the treatments are being given without exploring the underlying reason for the children’s confusion over their sexuality.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Oxford professor said the treatments were ‘unregulated live experiments on children’ with some diagnosis not supported by any evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carl Heneghan, director of the Centre of Evidence-based Medicine at Oxford University, told The Times: ‘Given paucity of evidence, the off-label use of drugs [for outcomes not covered by the medicine’s licence] in gender dysphoria treatment largely means an unregulated live experiment on children.’<\/span><\/p>\n

GIDS, which is part of\u00a0the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, denied these claims and insisted careful diagnoses were made in these complex cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokesman told the Times: ‘It is only in recent years that the number of young people attending specialist services worldwide has dramatically increased.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Prior to this the numbers have been small and it has therefore been difficult to collect sufficient evidence to fully evaluate treatment pathways.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘We and other specialist services worldwide are actively engaged in research to better understand the characteristics and needs of young people attending specialist services.’<\/span><\/p>\n

In February doctors at the\u00a0gender identity clinic warned young patients could be exposed to ‘long-term damage’ due to lobby groups and ‘pushy parents’.<\/span><\/p>\n

A report by former staff governor David Bell, said some children ‘take up a trans identity as a solution’ to ‘multiple problems such as historic child abuse in the family, bereavement, homophobia, and a very significant incidence of autism spectrum disorder’.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bell report said many children questioning their identity may have ‘learnt through online resources [or] coaching from from parents or peers exactly what to say in order to get the results they want’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psychoanalyst and former governor of the clinic, Dr Marcus Evans, resigned in February over concerns clinicians were looking for ‘quick solutions’ by offering gender reassignment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last November the centre was accused of ‘fast-tracking’ young people for gender treatment in a letter sent by parents.<\/span><\/p>\n
