A woman who was treated with hormone blockers to reassign her gender as a teenager is taking the NHS to court, saying she “should have been told to wait”.
Keira Bell said the care she received for gender dysphoria, a condition where a person experiences distress due to a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity, steered her towards medical treatment.
Ms Bell, who used to identify as a boy, was 15 when she went to the Tavistock Centre in London. She said after “roughly three sessions” she started receiving hormone blockers.
Eight years later, and after undergoing surgery, Ms Bell is de-transitioning to return to a woman.
Good luck with that, Tinkerbell.
There are going to be a lot of people left hopelessly screwed up by this new fad of gender reassignment. It is being done in a totally unethical manner with no consideration to the long term outcomes. It’s like a game, reassign gender and win a prize for each one you change. Ones gender and sexual orientation is often not firmly set until one is fully adult. These so called professionals should be sued until they can’t afford to put their garbage out for a pickup.
Mary Shelly’s book still belongs in the HORROR section … not the Self-Help section.
Flip a coin. Heads or tails.
There’s a teenager up the street who is changing. It’s currently shaped like Homer Simpson ISYN. I still haven’t figured which way the coin is going to land and its been turning in the air for years.
I actually have a bit of sympathy. They seem nice.
A debacle.
“Heads or tails.”
Or as bisexuals say. “Heads I get some tail, tails I get some head”.
Mentally ill. Full stop.
The psychiatry and gender industry is going to be crushed by lawsuits over this trans fad.
I am sure that sue the gender benders will become a fad. It can not possibly happen too soon!
Gender dysphoria is going to be our generation’s Satanic Ritual Abuse hysteria.
The numbers don’t lie. 10-15 years after full surgical transition, 40% of the subjects regret or revert. 40% are dead of suicide or misadventure. Only 20% of the original cohort remain alive and satisfied with the transition. Those are atrocious numbers and more than enough reason not to allow cosmetic surgery as a treatment for this disorder.
Given that some 90% of MtF and near 100% of FtM transitioners have a history of childhood sexual abuse, I think it’s pretty obvious the dysphoria is a self-destructive coping mechanism. But whadda-I-kno, I’m not a psychiatrist.
The solution to a problem between their ears is to cut off their nuts? There are some sick people out there and half of them are practicing medicine.
“Cutting off their nuts” actually proves better than nothing for most perverts, in jurisdictions that out of a misplaced sense of Christian charity haven’t the heart to “euthanize” them.
Any pervert who has ever actually reformed did so after physical castration. Most such cases consider the operation the best thing that ever happened to them.
The real problem is that it is nowadays hardly ever administered when indicated. I’m convinced that most trannies are trying to self-medicate, as it were. If the nice doctor cuts off their shame, it won’t get hard when they see a little girl any more.
What can we expect when we are told by the experts children know if they’ve been dealt the wrong gender by the age of three.
I don’t know how any ethical medical professional can be involved in such tinkering, it borders on the grotesque.
You grossly under state the case Liz! It does not boarder on grotesque. It is as grotesque as can be, without the public display of severed body parts!
No medical professional, who has ever had an ethical thought, could consider mutating a child.
No reasonable person could deem a person not yet mature enough to vote, mature enough to decide to irreversibly change their sex!
The excuse that’s often used is “if it saves one life…..”
I’ve read online that the suicide rate of these particular breed of squirrels is through the roof.
Yep, and the post surgery rate is greater than the pre surgery rate.
Turns out gluing a horn to a horse does not make it a unicorn.
From what I understand, in the early days of this, candidates for “renovation” were thoroughly examined and vetted before they were given clearance to “cross the floor”. Even then, the whole process took several years and I think there was a lower age limit for eligibility.
I don’t recall there being a high suicide rate or, for that matter, buyer’s regret. Then again, one rarely heard of such things during those times, so any failures might have been covered up.
Why then, under the circumstances, does the article use feminine pronouns?
Excellent question! Because it’s not about what the patient wants … it about what the cultural revolutionaries want. Want to shove down your gullet.
Precisely Kenji. If we will stand for the mental and physical mutilation of our children we will stand for any abuse no matter how vile. Each mutilated child stands as a victory of evil over common sense and decency.
I now know why I had a gut feeling that I should take a ball bat and make the first fagot that stepped out of his closet wish he never had. Didn’t seem reasonable at the time.
100% predictable. As foreseeable as tomorrow’s dawn.
People have a hard time looking more than one move down the chess board when the conclusions they might reach run counter to their ideology.

Years ago, I heard that an old Spanish fix in the rural areas for a rapist or pedophile was as follows,
They would tar and feather them, chain them bodily to a tree or post, leaving their hand free, and nail their nuts to a ten foot wooden pole that had been soaked in a fuel source, gas, oil, tar, something or anything that would burn, give them a small dull knife. The weight of the pole would stretch the skin on the sack an inch or three, the result was improved access to the sack. They then set fire to the other end of the pole. The choice was then left to the individual to cut off his nuts to stop from getting burned alive, or, to commit suicide with the dull knife. I heard or read of this years ago as a teenager, I have no idea if there is any truth to the story, but I’ve always felt it was an appropriate punishment!
It’s not harsh enough.
“I heard or read of this years ago as a teenager”
I’m not sure if it showers you in more glory to think you read stuff like that or to imagine that you make it up out of whole cloth.
Glad to see it. I hope there are more law suits. Had the “leadership” within the medical profession simply shown a bit of spine and said, “No, we’re not going to use surgery to treat psychiatric disorders.” the abomination that is “gender reassignment” surgery would have never occurred in the first place.
So let me get this straight. First some peckerology, then peckeration, followed by peckerstretchery, and now a peckerotomy?
Damn. There’s a hell of a Country song here ….
I don’t think that many will sue.
I expect that 10 years from now many will extract a much harsher revenge on those who abused their position of trust.
Wouldn’t that be nice.
If I thought I would still be around in ten years, I would offer a you a wager, Stan.
Most abusers are sly enough to pick victims with sufficiently poor self image that they wouldn’t consider themselves worthy of being avenged. I’m sure there will, however, be plenty of lawyers seeking such clients. If things keep going the way they are, probably a whole industry built around serving the needs of these poor cripples.
I think my past assessment of this insanity was 100% accurate.
