This move saw media coverage of the case increase. This was a smart move as Bell was easier to sell to the press and garnered widespread media attention whilst repeating transphobia-filled talking points. It is important to note that many of the anti-trans activists he has assisted identify as feminists.Ī few months into her campaign, Susan Evans swapped herself out of the case for Keira Bell, a woman who had detransitioned months before. You can see his history of cases yourself by clicking here. He also has a history of taking cases that seek to erode abortion access in the UK. It was titled: Legal case to protect children from experimental medical treatment.Įvans called upon the legal services of Paul Conrathe of Sinclairs Law. He has also represented parents who took issue with the introduction of LGBT-inclusive sex and relationship education, and appears to be the solicitor of choice amongst anti-trans radicals having now worked with many including Sarah Phillimore, the Safe Schools Alliance and Fair Cop. Susan Evans is a nurse who worked at GIDS part-time between 20. In late 2019, over a decade after she left the clinic, Evans launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund legal action against the Tavistock who, in her opinion, were rushing young people into transition. Service users regularly experienced years-long waiting times and painfully slow internal practices which saw young people age out of the service before they ever got inside. That year the UK media found another lucrative opportunity: the NHS’ only gender identity clinic for young people, GIDS, run by the Tavistock and Portman trust. All this consultation did was ramp up the UK media campaign which now had every excuse to publish transphobia daily. So they announced a public consultation on the issue. Any hopes of using trans issues to cultivate another celebratory moment, like that which followed same-sex marriage, had been destroyed by transphobia.
They were essentially arguing that the thin line between an epidemic of sexual assaults and women was a piece of paper that rarely leaves peoples’ lofts. This very basic point never made it into most UK media coverage. Most people only use theirs a handful of times in their lives. Gyms and sports clubs have never required them. Refuges don’t ask people running for their lives to see one. McDonald’s doesn’t require them before using their toilets. The argument that allowing trans people to change their birth certificates easily “could” allow predators into the UK’s single-sex spaces rests on the falsehood that these spaces require birth certificates to access them. Such reports rarely, if ever, explained what birth certificates had to do with this, and neither did the transphobia-championing radicals platformed at every opportunity. There were transphobia-riddled reports that reforming the GRA “could” endanger women in single-sex spaces by opening every women’s space to men. Other UK outlets such as the Mail, the Telegraph, the Guardian, the Express, the Sun, the Spectator, the New Statesman and BBC News joined them. Their transphobia-filled content went on to win awards. In 2016, the Times saw May’s announcement and began publishing anti-trans news reports and columns every few days.
