In the UK, there were three main clinics that were scrutinised regarding such questions. Women ask: why are doctors physically intervening in children’s natural development with powerful drugs, for no defined medical pathology? How can clinicians justify this practice despite such poor scientific evidence? How does the rise in teenage girls going to gender clinics around the world relate to issues like misogyny, lesbophobia, porn-culture and the objectification of women and girls? Why are women being called ‘transphobic’ for questioning whether young girls who might otherwise grow up to be lesbians are being inappropriately medicalised for life? How is a mother trying to safeguard her child from possible medical harms acting in a ‘hateful’ way? Feminists who protect the sex-based rights of girls and women have long challenged the social and medical interventions done on children who express unhappiness with their body or strongly resist their ‘expected’ social role.
