Children’s author Gillian Philip was fired by her publisher for standing up to gender pseudoscience.

News of the Cass Review’s damning indictment of NHS England’s treatment of children with gender issues has finally reached Scotland. On Thursday, the Sandyford clinic – aka the Tartan Tavistock – announced that it has paused all prescribing of puberty blockers to vulnerable children.

This prompted a fierce backlash from those committed to trans ideology. On Friday morning, on BBC Radio Scotland, a father of a 10-year-old girl who has been ‘socially transitioning to a boy’ since before she could talk, had a public tantrum. He called the Cass Review ‘disappointing’ and stated that he didn’t trust it. Blind to the red flags billowing briskly in the Scottish wind, the presenter thanked him warmly for ‘sharing [his] family’s experience’.

This wasn’t even the most disturbing aspect of that interview. The girl had been socially transitioned as a toddler and was treated by teachers as a boy throughout her early-years education. No mention was made of the deception and gaslighting inflicted on every one of her classmates over that time.
