One of the girl guide leaders has set up this petition to oppose the decision - there's a lot of backlash from within girl guiding www.change.org/p/allow-tran...?

Ssh! You’ll create widespread panic! 🤦‍♀️

This survey is for young people under the age of 18 in Great Britain & Northern Ireland only who:
- Have experience of gender diversity themselves, OR
- Are a friend or family member of someone with experience of gender diversity.

Maybe, but the survey should not be ignored simply because of any preconceptions. Those with experience of dysphoria - either personally or through knowing someone going through it - should consider submitting a response. Who knows, you may help change someone else's preconceptions.

Your comment betrays a lack of understanding of the case, and it is rather Dr Upton that has been treated badly in this.
Peggie, by contrast, who has btw since been shown to have shared racist jokes, was suspended and investigated for misconduct causing this case to be brought at public expense.

I spoke with my hospital today on this subject and they confirmed that there was no intention of changing their existing policy of treating patients according their gender.
Wes can rant away but, thankfully, most HealthCare professionals will continue with respect & patient-centric treatment.

Thank you for this, Eilis, although I never ever thought we‘d see the day that a document like this would be needed. Truly a terrible time to be Trans in the UK
