After landmark high court ruling, solicitor highlights worry over online influence on teenagers making life-changing decisions
The promotion of transgender issues on social media should be subject to safeguarding measures, according to the lawyer for a woman who brought last week’s landmark case against England’s only NHS gender identity development service (GIDS).
Keira Bell, 23, who was born female, was referred to the Tavistock Centre in London, which runs GIDS, as a teenager. She was prescribed puberty blockers at the age of 16.
