[QUOTE="Roxetten, post: 7203784, member: 34454"] GIDS began seeing Irish children in 2012 under the Treatment Abroad Scheme. Three years later, as demand increased, staff started holding monthly clinics in Crumlin hospital. Between 2011 and 2021, 238 young people in Ireland were referred to GIDS. As in the UK, the Irish referrals were overwhelmingly female and had multiple other “difficulties”. It was only when the first referrals were old enough to have their care transferred to the adult service at St Colmcille’s Hospital in Loughlinstown that concerns were raised. Clinicians Paul Moran and Donal O’Shea have helped hundreds of people transition successfully. “For people who are ready, have a clear, stable understanding of their gender, social supports, and are physically and mentally healthy, I see it as a fantastic thing,” Moran is quoted as saying. “We were seeing very haphazard referrals from Irish psychologists operating mainly in the private sector, where somebody was going along, saying, ‘I think I have gender dysphoria,’ and there wasn’t really an assessment being carried out,” O’Shea says. “We began to see more and more disasters,” Moran explains. There were suicides; other people barely left their homes in years. The pair started a new service, identifying people who were ready for transition by assessing them before they started hormones. This approach, involving an assessment by a psychiatrist, was criticised as pathologising by the trans community, but they say it has resulted in dramatically better outcomes. The head of GIDS has rejected the criticism of the service by the Irish clinicians, and has pointed out that no direct complaint has been received. The HSE claims their concerns are “not representative” of clinicians who refer to Tavistock. The UK government is closing Tavistock shortly on foot of a critical report published last year. The HSE continues to pay for Irish children to be seen by GIDS in England but says it is developing a new model of care for the treatment of gender dysphoria. At the end of this investigation into Tavistock, the psychologist interviewed by Barnes is certain the service has been hurting children, but has a new question - “How many?” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/review/2023/03/11/time-to-think-the-inside-story-of-the-collapse-of-the-tavistocks-gender-service-for-children-cause-for-concern/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
