Riittakerttu Kaltiala steht im Zentrum massiver Kritik: Die Chefärztin der Jugendpsychiatrie in Tampere forciert ein restriktives „Gatekeeping“-Modell, das trans Jugendlichen lebensnotwendige Hilfe vorenthält. Berichte über traumatisierende Verhöre und ihre Nähe zu trans-feindlichen Netzwerken wie der #SEGM zeigen: Ihr Einfluss gefährdet #trans Rechte weltweit.

And indeed Trans Day of Informed Consent.
In retrospect (and this is a personal view), we were naive in the Bute House Agreement. ScotGov was never going to put in enough money for the old gatekeeping model to function , given current demand, and the medics were never going to propose radical changes themselves. We should have been much more specific about what was required, and I think that at that time it might have flown, at least with adult services.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge said the government overreached by issuing a declaration that called treatments like puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries unsafe and ineffective for young people experiencing gender dysphoria, according to a ruling Thursday in Oregon.”

A federal judge has ruled that the government overreached when it declared certain types of gender-affirming care unsafe for young people. The judge’s ruling Thursday in Oregon is part of multistate lawsuit filed against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, its secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and its inspector general. The judge says Kennedy did not follow administrative procedures when he issued the declaration in December. The declaration warns doctors that they could be excluded from federal health programs if they provide treatments like gender-affirming surgery and puberty blockers. The judge’s ruling grants preliminary relief to health professionals who provide the treatment. It was at the end of a roughly 6-hour hearing and will be followed by a written decision.

Oh yes, all those HRT overdoses.
I look forward to seeing what pretext they come up with to give #Streeting the opportunity to ban it.
