What The Trans!?

EP143 - The Gender Clinic Files (Part 3)


Listen Later

This week, on another packed episode, Ashleigh, Alyx and Flint rake over the coals about:

  • Esther Ghey, mother of Brianna Ghey, has launched a campaign called Phone-Free Education and the team consider its implications.
  • Multiple organisations have submitted evidence to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights institutions showing that the EHRC is, to put it lightly, not really fulfilling its stated role.
  • A symphony of statistics from two new GLP-instigated YouGov polls.
  • Labour backbenchers warn of "chaos" if the EHRC's guidance is implemented as is, but not for the reasons you might be expecting.

Before moving on to the meat of the episode, which we've developed alongside https://www.wearequeeraf.com/ and Claire Prosho (https://linktr.ee/CTransTalks). This final part in our series about the UK's Gender Clinic system looks at potential future outcomes, including:

  • The upcoming -although much delayed- Levy Review.
  • Suggested ways for the GIC's to deal with their extreme backlog of patients.
  • The numerous failures of the "specialist clinic" model as it stands.
  • A lack of consistent data standards across the clinics and why this presents a problem.
