Keira Bell is a young woman with a story to share.
In 2013 she was seen at the Tavistock's Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) and at 16 years old was prescribed puberty blockers, then testosterone and underwent a double mastectomy procedure. After realising the harm, she began speaking out.
In 2020 she became a lead claimaint in litigation against GIDS to argue that young people could not provide informed consent to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. She became the first 'detransitioner' in the world to go through the courts.
She shocked the world with her story and against all odds, won the case in the High Court of Justice in England. It blew the door open and had global impact and influence, a major factor in the triggering of the national Cass Review and exposing how ideology and politics has been entrenched in how minors are treated in the gender field. Since, many others in a similar position to Keira have felt emboldened to speak out.
She has been interviewed by the mainstream media, given multiple speeches at the House of Lords and has been mentioned across the world.
Keira continues to campaign publically and through the courts for the rights of children, to ensure those vulnerable are not being taken advantage of.
Outside of this work, she operates in the worlds of cybersecurity and music.
