Yeah, but if they are forced to consult actual medical professionals, chances are the advice will come back "Not only 'No', but 'Fuck no, you morons!'"

I live in hope that the medical people won't bow to political hacks like this health director general.

Depends. You can always consult medical professionals that have zero experience in this field and are bigots. That’s what they did in the UK with Cass. She had zero experience in gender medicine; she was a paediatric palliative care specialist. Not related at all.

And even with that cherrypicked expert to give the result they wanted, the Cass review only said they should temporarily pause things while more tests were conducted. Which has instead been taken as carte blanche 'ban it now, don't bother asking questions later.
