      Staff who promoted puberty blockers get large payouts

      Clinicians at the disgraced Gids clinic have been accused of ‘leaving ruin behind’ for the children to whom they prescribed experimental drugs

      Staff who championed the use of experimental drugs on vulnerable young people at the NHS’s disgraced gender identity clinic have been accused of “riding off into the sunset, leaving ruin behind”.

      Former whistleblowers have condemned the payouts that will go to staff of the Gender Identity Development Service (Gids) when they leave the controversial service at the end of this month, claiming they are being “rewarded for malpractice”.

      Dr Polly Carmichael, the outgoing director of Gids at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, is understood to be in line for a payout of at least £80,000 after presiding over a service which sent countless young people into the medical unknown, on drugs which the NHS now says are not backed up by enough evidence to be considered safe.

      Whistleblowers expressed dismay that staff who stayed on at Gids are now pocketing payouts, while others risked their livelihoods to raise the alarm.

      “They are driving off into the sunset, leaving ruin behind,” one said.

      “I can sleep at night — which is priceless. [But] the whole thing is profoundly unjust,” said a senior clinician who left the service for ethical reasons. “It sends a message to all NHS employees that wrongs won’t be righted. They can all now move into retirement or private practice without a blemish to their name.

      “It’s a total failure of accountability and governance and is an injustice. It’s a type of institutional rot.”

      The clinician added: “Colleagues left with no job to go to rather than continue to practise in a team they felt was harming children. That those who stayed may benefit financially seems like an injustice.”

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        And now it’s no longer temporary.

                Montana Supreme Court just overturned a low blocking child mutilation gender affirming care.

                  Overturned? The link says upheld. Maybe a lower court overturned it.

                  Nitpick maybe.

                    I can imagine the GOP banning it at the federal level.

                    In September of 2026, going into election season.
