Changing gender: A landmark judgement in the Keira Bell case

Published: Dec. 2, 2020, 4 a.m.

Yesterday at the High Court, a judgement was passed that could have major implications for the treatment of children at gender identity clinics.


We speak to two people with very different perspectives: Keira Bell, the 23-year-old who detransitioned and is at the centre of the case; and the mother of a young transgender man, who thinks the court made the wrong decision.


Guests:

  • Sian Griffiths, education and families editor, The Sunday Times.
  • Keira Bell, one of the people at the centre of the High Court decision.
  • Jo, the parent of a young transgender man who was also treated at the Tavistock clinic.
