From the Times:

The director of a new private clinic has said he hopes to start prescribing cross-sex hormones within the “next couple of months” to teenagers questioning their gender.

Dr Aidan Kelly is among several former staff from the Tavistock gender clinic who have set up a new practice that will provide private referrals for hormone treatment and reassignment surgery.

Gender Plus will charge £275 for a one-hour appointment, which can be booked via its website without an NHS referral.

Anyone wishing to pursue hormone treatment to change gender must complete an assessment over six appointments, only one of which needs to be in person. The other five appointments may be over Zoom calls.

In an exclusive interview with Times Radio, Kelly said it would be “very unusual . . . but not impossible” for his team to see children under the age of eight, but insisted that the in-house hormone clinic, which he plans to open “in autumn 2023”, would not prescribe hormone treatment to anyone under the age of 16.

What about puberty blockers, though? The Tavistock prescribed them for children aged 10-15 – then on to the hormone treatment. That's how it goes. No reason to doubt that Dr Kelly will do anything differently.

The clinic, which operates from above a chicken shop in east London, is accepting patients for consultations only but is in the process of applying to register with the Care Quality Commission so it can also start prescribing hormone treatments, “where appropriate”, to people who identify as transgender.

It's child abuse – no more, no less. Making money by ruining the lives of deluded children….
