Mixed-up five-year-olds and the alarming growth of the gender identity industry: 20 years ago the condition didn't exist. Now British children are being puberty suppressing drugs on the NHS
The Tavistock Clinic is based in an anonymous concrete building in North London. Once there, you have to go to the third floor to find the Orwellian-sounding Gender Identity Development Unit.
The unit received £1,042,000 in funding last year from the local healthcare Trust. In layman’s terms, it treats patients who believe they are ‘trapped in the wrong body’.
Few would associate such a place with children barely old enough to attend school.

Brigitte Goldberg: La trans qui vise la présidence
Trans et militante LGBT, Brigitte Goldberg se présente à la présidentielle. Une candidature symbolique pour peser sur la gauche et rappeler au PS ses promesses.
Elle sait qu'elle ne sera pas élue, mais elle aura tenu plus longtemps que Christine Boutin. Pour quelques jours encore, Brigitte Goldberg est candidate à la présidentielle. Sa particularité: elle représente le parti Avenir 2012, issu du collectif LGBT Trans Europe, et elle est elle-même trans. D'emblée, elle balaie tous soupçons de communautarisme autour de son projet: «Notre parti porte des valeurs de respect, de liberté, d'égalité, pour les LGBT comme pour tous. Ce sont des valeurs républicaines.»
