NHS: Gender Doctors Harmed Children
Read More…: NHS: Gender Doctors Harmed ChildrenAn NHS investigation into the activities of WellBN – a Brighton GP surgery which prescribed cross-sex hormones to children – has found it caused “actual potential harm” to its young patients and “fell substantially below” the professional standards of care required. A Patient Safety Investigation Report, completed on 8 May, but published on the NHS website today, says record keeping was “poor and disorganised“, staff “failed to safely practice within the limits of their competence” and “puberty blockers and gender enhancing medications were prescribed without a comprehensive bio-psychosocial assessment (in 22 cases without even face-to-face appointments having taken place)“. Potentially…

Depoliticising the Workplace
Read More…: Depoliticising the WorkplaceTanya de Grunwald has a podcast strand called This Isn’t Working, in which she invites business leaders to consider employee activism and the vicissitudes of DEI. Her live events, under the banner This Is Working, are aimed at bringing business leaders together to discuss how organisations can move forward from where we are now. There were three panel sessions held under the banner Depoliticising the Workplace at Tanya’s summer This Is Working event in central London last night. Panelists were asked to define the politicisation problem, explain how it can affect productivity and the smooth running of an organisation and…

Sex and Gender Law Association is Go
Read More…: Sex and Gender Law Association is GoFair play to Simon Cheetham KC. He opened his talk by thanking the chair Dr Julius Grower for listing the gender cases he’d been involved with, adding “what that flattering biography failed to mention is that in terms of the cases involving these issues, I’ve lost them all.” There was laughter, compounded by his pay off, which was “If you are an employer looking to lose a case in this field, I am the go-to lawyer”. The overall tone of the inaugural Sex and Gender Law Association event on Thursday 4 June 2026 at the London School of Economics’ Marshall…

WGS issues raised in Welsh Parliament
Read More…: WGS issues raised in Welsh ParliamentConcerns published on this website about the Welsh Gender Service have been raised in the Welsh Parliament by Natasha Asghar MS. During a plenary session in which the Health and Social Care Minister outlined his priorities for the parliamentary session, Asghar said: “Recently, there have been some rather concerning revelations about the Welsh Gender Service, which I have written to you about, but it would be remiss of me not to raise this with you here this afternoon. The service is referring between three and four times the number of people for irreversible gender surgeries than the UK average. Not…

Welsh Gender Service: Going Rogue?
Read More…: Welsh Gender Service: Going Rogue?The Welsh Gender Service is an interesting outfit. It is the only NHS clinic in Wales taking adult referrals from GPs. It is run by Dr Sophie Quinney, who was last seen in April, grabbing a camera out of a videographer’s hand, and allegedly having to be restrained by the police. According to information released via Freedom of Information (FOI) Act requests and documentation shown to me, the Welsh Gender Service: – does not collect information on the number of patients it recommends for cross-sex hormones.– refers between 3 and 4 times the number of people for irreversible gender surgeries…

Gender Clinic Investigation Stays Secret
Read More…: Gender Clinic Investigation Stays SecretA parent taking the WellBN gender clinic in Brighton to court over the treatment of his child has lost his bid to see the results of a recently completed investigation into potential malpractice at the clinic. The report was commissioned in June last year. As part of its scope, investigators were asked to: Their report was completed on Friday last week, but lawyers acting for WellBN argued it should not be handed over, even though the parent’s legal team said it understood “the report will be published and accessible in the public domain in the near future”. Background The parent…

Linehan is Acquitted: Smiles All Round
Read More…: Linehan is Acquitted: Smiles All RoundAt 2.55pm today, the Honourable Mrs Justice Tipples overturned Graham Linehan’s conviction for criminal damage to a trans activist’s phone, on the basis that she and her panel could not be sure that Linehan caused the alleged damage to the phone. Speaking afterwards Linehan said: “The decision of the court to throw out this case is very welcome, but it should never have got to court in the first place. There’s been a troubling pattern of police forces around the country to believe trans rights activists, time and time again, even when there’s been overwhelming evidence that complaints have been…

Glinner Rides Again
Read More…: Glinner Rides Againor: Day 1 of Graham Linehan’s appeal against his conviction for criminal damage at Southwark Crown Court The first and most important thing to know about this appeal is that it is essentially a re-trial. In order for Graham Linehan to have a fair re-trial neither the judge nor the two lay panellists sitting either side of her have read the Nov 2025 judgment. This found partially against Linehan (giving him a conviction for criminal damage to a mobile phone) and partially for him (he was acquitted of harassment). Neither the judge nor the panel attended court during last year’s…

Avoiding Compelled Speech in Court
Read More…: Avoiding Compelled Speech in CourtIn March, the Crown Prosecution Service made fools of themselves, reporting that a “woman” had been found guilty of murdering “her” partner. Reader, the woman was a man. The CPS’ defence was that Aurin Makepeace was afforded female pronouns in court, and this justified the CPS lying to the public. It is the logic of the genderwang, and should be resisted at all costs. A court (of all places) shouldn’t be allowing people to tell fairy stories about sex. There is also no duty, implied or otherwise, for arms of the state to respect a murderer’s fantasy. Yet here we…

Rebel Alliance: the Artists Fight Back
Read More…: Rebel Alliance: the Artists Fight BackWe are used to hearing shocking tales from various industries steeped in gender woo. Education, healthcare, journalism, the charity sector and the civil service have some of the biggest problems. The arts world is undoubtedly the worst. Groupthink remains almost absolute. Speaking out can be career-ruining, if not ending. In its latest attempt to work some of the tiniest cracks, Freedom in the Arts (FitA) took to the Churchill Room in the Palace of Westminster to launch its report The New Boycott Crisis (and an accompanying Art Beyond Boycott Toolkit) on Monday evening. The undoubted star of the show was singer Róisín Murphy,…
