Our Homage to Dr Anne Woodhouse
​Dr Anne Woodhouse is a member of ScotPAG. We are delighted that her recent HCPC Tribunal found that there was no case to answer regarding allegations of misconduct affecting her fitness to practice as a clinical psychologist.
The allegations were clearly vexatious, made by a LGBTQ activist and Depute Head Teacher of the school Dr Woodhouse’s daughter attended. The HCPC took the claimant’s unfounded allegations at face value, and failed to do any due diligence to establish the burden of proof, pursuing Dr Woodhouse for three years over fact-based tweets. This has been tantamount to harassment.
​
The HCPC has lost its way as a regulatory body, and it is time for similar organisations to wake up to their ignorance of what is actually happening in society. Instead of persecuting individuals like Dr Woodhouse, HCPC should have been supporting and congratulating her for her diligence and care. She had done her research, and had surveyed the evidence. Dr Woodhouse had also been alert to the failures of various organisations and public services which had, via their promotion of gender identity ideology, twisted and corrupted the original safeguarding regulations for women and children.
​​Gender identity ideology is a scam based on junk science, which has been visited on us all. It has caused terrible harm to countless children and their families, and it has hounded countless women and some men out of their jobs and livelihoods. It has upended many organisations and made them not fit for purpose. Politicians and many organisational leaders have proved themselves to be useful idiots to this authoritarian movement which demands the sterilisation of children and the compliance of all. If organisations like the HCPC, the BPS, the Scottish Government, the Labour Party and the BBC (plus too many others to mention), had actually done their homework properly, the gender identity ideology movement would have been ignored and labelled as the snake oil nonsense that it is.
Below we provide the full documentation of Dr Woodhouse’s Tribunal papers.

Anytime, Anywhere
BEFORE THE HEALTH AND CARE PROFESSIONS TRIBUNAL SERVICE SITTING AS A PANEL OF THE HCPC CONDUCT AND COMPETENCE COMMITTEE IN THE MATTER OF THE HEALTH AND CARE PROFESSIONS COUNCIL and ANNE WOODHOUSE
We are a group of professionals representing the 3 major fields of education, health, and social work, and have come together collaboratively, to share our knowledge and concern about the present modes of understanding and treatment of what has come to be known as 'gender dysphoria', 'gender incongruence', or 'transgender' issues
​
Our group consists of people who have worked in Clinical Psychology, Education, Educational Psychology, Family Therapy, Medicine, Midwifery, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Paediatrics, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Psychiatry, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Public Health, and Social Work. Collectively we have worked in the NHS, schools, universities, social services, and 3rd sector organisations
​
​As reflected in the 3 intertwined features in our logo, we take the view that a collective, multi-factorial approach is what matters in effectively managing and responding to any issue affecting society and its communities. To this end we are arguing that a public health response is the only way to support children, their families, public services, professional bodies, and society as a whole

​Our current convenor is:
Carolyn Brown
Retired Depute Principal Educational Psychologist
A statement on use of language
Gender ideology has generated a range of terminologies causing significant confusion and disagreement. This website acknowledges that such terms as ’trans’, ’transgender’, ’transsexual’ ‘gender dysphoria’ ‘ gender incongruence’ etc are interpreted differently by different groups and there is no agreement about what any of these definitions (and others) mean. For the purpose of managing this confusing context, this website will use the terms gender dysphoria and gender questioning while taking cognizance of the variation of understanding that exists currently.
Who we are
ScotPAG is always interested to hear from health, education, or social work professionals, in relation to compelled use of language in the workplace. This might be in situations where a person feels it is impossible to object, or to express an opinion without sanctions.
