Profile

I’m Bernard Lane, a Sydney-based journalist covering the international debate about gender clinics.

Why has there been a dramatic spike in often troubled children and teenagers declaring a transgender identity and seeking puberty blocker drugs, synthetic hormones and surgery?

A growing number of people all around the world are asking this question. It raises issues fundamental to a healthy society, yet much of mainstream media has missed the story or worse, engaged in uncritical promotion of medicalised gender change.

My news and analysis — my reportage and archive — are available to everyone freely, with no paywall.

I want my coverage to be easily and widely shared to help compensate for the failure of many media outlets to report gender clinics with accuracy and detail.

Please do consider supporting me with a paid subscription. This will help me keep Gender Clinic News freely available, as well as covering my rising costs. (I left my job at The Australian newspaper last year.)

With a paid sub, you’ll be able to share insights by commenting on posts and interacting with other readers. Shoot me an email if you have any suggestions or questions.

Best wishes,

Bernard
