The approach taken by gender advocacy groups like Mermaids and Stonewall has been to avoid public or Parliamentary debate of their causes and secure change through directly influencing policy makers, whether that be ministers, civil servants, companies' HR departments, HQ Air Cadets, or whatever. As we've seen with the closure of the Tavistock Centre and the rapid undoing of the Scottish Government's gender recognition agenda, it has fallen squarely on the Press to bring such matters to public attention, and (in the Tavistock's case) for the courts to host the difficult conversations which result. I am sure that without the threat of such scrutiny, there would be many more examples of such overreach. So I welcome light being shone into these corners, even if it turns out there is nothing to see in each individual case, because it keeps change within the bounds which society as a whole is prepared to tolerate.
