Time to Think goes behind the headlines to reveal the truth about the NHS's flagship gender service for children.
The Tavistock's Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) was set up initially to provide talking therapies to young people who were questioning their gender identity.
But in the last decade GIDS referred around two thousand children, some as young as nine years old, for medication to block their puberty. In the same period, the number of referrals exploded and the profile of the patients changed: from largely pre-pubescent boys to mostly adolescent girls, who were often contending with other difficulties. Was there enough clinical evidence to justify such profound medical interventions?
This urgent, scrupulous and dramatic book explains how GIDS has been the site of a serious medical scandal, in which ideological concerns took priority over clinical practice. It is a disturbing and gripping parable for our times.©2023 Hannah Barnes (P)2023 Swift Press Audio

The good thing is that you can recommend this book to anyone, even a trans person who believes in cancel culture. Even your friend who calls women TERFs when they question the medicalization of gender non-conforming behaviours. If you have an adult trans friend who doesn't know what is happening with rapid-onset gender dysphoria, puberty blockers and double mastectomies on minors, this is THE book you can give them. Same thing if you are trans and you want to know more about these issues. The author uses people's chosen pronouns and does not question the validity of the concept of transgenderism. She displays much respect and empathy for anyone involved in the book : children, parents, doctors, activists etc.
If you are looking for a book which is more critical about the topic, I recommend Abigail Shrier or Miriam Grossman.
If, like me, English is not your first language, you will enjoy the fact that "Time to think" is read quite slowly and that the vocabulary is accessible.
The most objective book (yet) about this topic
