After her departure from Mermaids in 2022, Green joined forces with &#8220;trans&#8221; activist and HIV campaigner Lizzie Jordan to establish Anne. Their approach is driven not by rigorous science but by ideology, prioritising beliefs over evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The service adheres to guidance from the controversial trans advocacy group, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health <a title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpath.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>(WPATH)<\/b><\/a>, whose recommendations have often been criticised as unscientific and biased.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #ffff00; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #800080; border-top: 9px solid #800080; border-bottom: 9px solid #800080; border-right: 18px solid #800080; border-left: 18px solid #800080; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stewardship.org.uk\/pages\/nccss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Support Christian Voice \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Puberty blockers for under 18&#8217;s<\/h2>\n<p>Among Anne\u2019s controversial services is the prescription of puberty blockers for minors\u2014a practice banned both in the <a title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/nhs-bans-puberty-blockers-for-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>NHS<\/b><\/a> and private clinics after the Cass Review exposed severe issues within youth gender services. Even before Dr. Hilary Cass\u2019s findings were released, the serious risks associated with puberty blockers were clear to anyone willing to look beyond ideological blinders. Research has revealed disturbing potential side effects of these drugs, such as reduced IQ, impaired fertility, and weakened bone density. Today, most conscientious clinicians recognise that subjecting vulnerable children to experimental drugs is deeply irresponsible.<\/p>\n<p>In a display of almost remarkable cunning, Anne has managed to sidestep the UK\u2019s ban by establishing a \u201clegal route\u201d through a network of families outside the country to facilitate access to puberty blockers abroad. Green defends this approach by insisting that the so-called \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d provided by her service is an \u201cessential part\u201d of children\u2019s healthcare, framing it as a vital step in their development.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #ffff00; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 5px; background-color: #1f7f4c; border-top: 9px solid #1F7F4C; border-bottom: 9px solid #1F7F4C; border-right: 18px solid #1F7F4C; border-left: 18px solid #1F7F4C; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/index.php\/arrange-a-meeting-at-your-church\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ask us to come and speak at your church \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\u00a3150 per child<\/h2>\n<p>Anne\u2019s services are available to any child who can pay, provided they have the backing of a parent or guardian.

puberty blockers to children with gender dysphoria increases their risk of suicide.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Opens in a new tab\"

suicidal ideation become a reality.\u201d This rhetoric not only distorts the situation but dangerously manipulates public sentiment through fear.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Story<\/h2>\n<p><a
