British Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Tuesday that the way the nation’s healthcare system currently handles cases of children with gender dysphoria is “bordering on ideological.”

Responding to a question, Javid told MPs that he shared concerns about the NHS insisting on children’s perception of their own gender as a starting point for treatment, describing the approach as “overly affirmative.”
