Deadline: ITV Orders Trans Child Facility Doc

Story from Deadline:

ITV has greenlit a documentary series exploring the rise and fall of the UK’s only dedicated NHS service for trans children. The Tavistock Centre’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) has attracted plenty of headlines over the past few years and The Clinic will probe what happened at the treatment center, which was recently ordered to close – leaving thousands of children in medical limbo. Rogan Productions Scotland is producing. “The Tavistock GIDS clinic has been such an important story not just for anyone interested in trans issues, but the wider discussion over recent years around gender,” said EP Mark Hedgecoe. “It has been utterly fascinating to be able to talk to many of those involved, on all sides, and piece together what has happened there over the years.”
