Gender Experts Warn Against Referring Children To ‘Transgender’ Clinics

The government needs to stop allowing gender-confused children to be referred to some “transgender” clinics, according to a warning from two gender experts.
The warning was included in a formal complaint filed with the National Information and Quality Authority in the Republic of Ireland, according to a report from the Christian Institute.
It is Donal O’Shea and Paul Moran of the National Gender Service who filed the criticism, objecting to the actions by the Health Service Executive in referring gender-confused children to those “trans-affirming” clinics in other countries.
The Institute reported: “The clinicians highlighted ‘a series of cases as examples of harm and risk caused to Irish children by these services.’”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Their concern is that those clinics ignore other issues in the child’s life, and that can lead to “social avoidance,” and “functional impairment.”
The Institute report explained, “Ireland does not have specialist psychological services for gender-confused children. Instead they were referred to the notorious NHS Tavistock clinic in London, until it stopped accepting new referrals in October 2022. According to the HSE, 229 children were referred to the Tavistock between 2015 and 2022.”
O’Shea pointed out that starting in 2016, the National Gender Service started seeing young adults who “clearly” were not ready for the radical treatments to which they were subjected at Tavistock.
And the fact they were not ready, but “well under way with their transition” resulted in “great mental health difficulties” for them.
The problem-plagued London clinic is due to close in coming months following an independent report by Dr. Hilary Cass that concluded it was not a “safe or viable long-term option.”
Only weeks ago, the report said, O’Shea had criticized HSE for inviting activists to create a trans-affirming clinical pathway because that would be “dangerous and goes against all emerging evidence of the need to be safe and careful.”
Under one proposal children would be referred to a clinic in Belgium run by Vanessa Lacey, who was described as a former senior manager at the trans-promoting Transgender Equality Network Ireland.
O’Shea said, “It’s more important to speak out when there is a culture in an organization that is prepared to lie, intimidate, mislead” and use “funds to put vulnerable individuals at incredible risk.”
The newest studies show that those individuals who have unwanted gender dysphoria, and get counseling to help them deal with those issues, have a lower suicide rate.
Northern Ireland’s National Gender Service is based at St. Columcille’s Hospital in Loughlinstown in Dublin.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, “CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world’s freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction.”
In this very special issue, readers will experience the best and deepest thoughts and strategies on how to restore America to her former goodness and greatness, from some of the nation’s most respected analysts – everyone from Tucker Carlson to Dennis Prager to Victor Davis Hanson to Newt Gingrich and many more.
