You've changed your tune from last year when you were posting this, very much suggesting puberty blockers lowered suicide..... as I've said before the number will be small, and we will never know who they are. The report backs up what I said a week or two ago.
On reading it turned out to be a self selecting survey, 'Youth were recruited via targeted ads on Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat' with chance of a $50 prize.
As to your Guardian article, I don't doubt the children and young people to whom he gave puberty blockers and hormones were thrilled. They'd been told they're life saving and would solve their problems.
How does he know puberty blockers were the best course of action in the long term though? The Tavistock did zero follow up on children. Once approved patients were moved back to their GP for prescriptions. They have no idea how many were happy or unhappy long term, or how many desisted.
Dr Kelly now offers private gender assessments - 6 to 8 sessions for under 18's, over Zoom if you like. Or just 2 to 3 if you are over 18. At £275 an hour and you don't even need to be seen in person.
Having lost his job with the Tavistock Dr Kelly has a vested interest in overturning the puberty blocker ban. If he can't prescribe you blockers there's no incentive for you use his services.
