NHS Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service and WPATH SOC8
NHS Trust "Advice for Professionals" links to document that recommends a forum for devotees of sadomasochist castration, torture and sexual abuse of children
The web site for Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Trust, which hosts the Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service (NRGDS) in Newcastle upon Tyne, includes a page of "Information for Professionals" who might want to refer patients to NRGDS:

That page of "Information for Professionals" includes a link to WPATH Standards of Care version 8 (SOC8):

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) released its Standards of Care (SoC8) on December 2nd 2021. The document details WPATH’s intention to include men who seek out castration, also known as eunuchs, as part of the transgender community.
According to Chapter 9, “Eunuchs”:
“The greatest wealth of information about contemporary eunuch-identified people is found within the large on-line peer-support community that congregates on sites such as The Eunuch Archive (www.eunuch.org) which was established in 1998. The moderators of this site attempt to maintain both medical and historical accuracy in its discussion forums, although there is certainly misinformation there as well. The Fiction Archive, which is part of the Eunuch Archive, is neither medically nor historically accurate and is filled with fantasy.”
“But what WPATH describes as “fantasy” could be more accurately described as castration fetish porn.
The content includes stories about violent rape, sadomasochism, and highly sexualized stories of young boys being castrated, or young boys castrating adult men in a fetishized fashion.”

WPATH SOC8 states that "Eunuch" is a "gender identity" and recommends "affirmation" by chemical and/or surgical castration.
WPATH SOC8 refers many times, and links to, The Eunuch Archive website. This is a fetish forum that hosts and produces fictional child pornography and extreme sadomasochistic content.
The Eunuch Archive hosts over 3,000 pieces of fictional child pornography that detail the rape, torture, and killing of children. In some narratives, children with stunted puberty are raped by doctors. In others, children are castrated by force as part of a sadistic sexual torture ritual.
The fictional pornography includes themes such as Nazi doctors castrating children, baby boys being fed milk with oestrogen in order to be violently sex trafficked as adolescents, and paedophilic fantasies of children who have been castrated to halt their puberty, ‘freezing’ them in a childlike state.

"Top Trans Medical Association Collaborated With Castration, Child Abuse Fetishists"

Thomas W. Johnson, a retired Professor at California State University in Chico (CSUC), is a formative member of The Eunuch Archive.
In 2016, Johnson claimed to have been specifically chosen to rewrite a portion of the WPATH Standards of Care by former WPATH president Eli Coleman.
According to Johnson’s own research, the majority of site members who participated in a survey cited sexual fantasy as their main reason for interest in castration. Some survey participants asserted that they became sexually aroused when witnessing animal castration.
Johnson claims to have been influential in editing the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The DSM is regarded as the authoritative guide to the diagnosis of mental disorders in the United States, but is also referenced internationally.
“The draft for the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM-5) suggests ‘Gender Incongruence,’ which I much prefer,” Johnson wrote in 2010. “The body and mind are out of sync, with no mental illness implied!”
When the DSM-5 was released in 2013, a term for a pathological and sexualized fixation on genital mutilation was removed. Previously, Skoptic syndrome had been listed as a gender identity disorder in the DSM-4.
Richard J. Wassersug has for over 20 years used the alias “Eunuchunique” on The Eunuch Archive forum, while Krister H. Willette, who has been active in the community since 1998, uses the screen name “Kristoff.” Both men, along with Johnson, presented research they co-authored together at a 2009 conference in Oslo held by WPATH.
In May 2010, the contents of the Oslo presentation were published in The International Journal of Transgenderism, an academic journal issued by WPATH.
Wassersug, Willette, and Johnson were again invited to speak at a 2011 WPATH conference in Atlanta, Georgia. It was during this conference that the decision was made to de-classify Gender Identity Disorder as a psychological condition. In its place, Gender Dysphoria would become the recommended terminology.
Johnson and Wassersug have previously released academic research justifying the pedophilic fantasies amongst castration fetishists. In a 2015 paper titled “The Sexual Side of Castration Narratives,” fictional child sexual abuse material was called “therapeutic” and helpful for those with eunuch ideations.
On May 13 2022, research by Johnson and Wassersug titled “Castration for Pleasure: Exploring Extreme Castration Ideations in Fiction” was published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
“The most popular [Eunuch Archive] stories link sexual gratification and romantic partnership with genital abuse. They are characterized by the absence of consent for genital ablations and multiple [sadomasochism]-related paraphilias,” note Johnson and Wassersug. “Many stories feature attraction to, and ablation of, the genitals of pubescent or adolescent males.”

"On the basis of Johnson and Wassersug's own research, then, it is clear that castration fantasies often have a fetishistic quality, and that sadomasochistic themes and a focus on pubescent males are common elements in these fantasies."

These are not the only links between castration fetish, "gender identity" advocates and transgender organisations.
A man who came to international attention after being arrested for performing dozens of fetishistic castrations out of his home in North London can be revealed as a Norwegian activist affiliated with a powerful ‘Queer’ lobby group.
Marius Gustavson, 44, was arrested along with six other men in February 2022. Shortly after his arrest, he told The Independent in an interview that had undergone an amateur orchiectomy himself and carried the operation out on 58 other men. He stated that he had his own genitals surgically removed because he wanted to “look like a Ken doll with nothing down there.”
Despite the international coverage of the disturbing case, media failed to note that Gustavson had been a prominent member of the LGBT activist community.
According to Gustavon’s LinkedIn profile, he was a volunteer and Senior Steward for London’s Pride organization between 2016 to 2019. His first Eunuch Maker site was registered in 2016, and in 2018, he started a film production company called Nullset.
Prior to his relocation to London, Gustavson was Chairman of the Board for the Buskerud chapter of transactivist lobbying group The Norwegian Organization for Sexual and Gender Diversity, now known as FRI. Gustavson was involved in a leadership position at the organization from 2001 through 2007. During this time, FRI went by the name ‘The National Association for Lesbian and Gay Liberation,’ or LLH.
In 2018, The Norwegian Organization for Sexual and Gender Diversity (FRI) successfully lobbied the World Health Organization to officially depathologize fetishism, sadomasochism, and fetishistic transvestitism by removing them from the 11th revision of the International Classifications of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11).
This was the result of a successful lobby campaign that spanned two decades in its effort. The Norwegian LGBT organization, which frequently displays a BDSM pride flag, had been working to remove sadomasochism as a paraphilic diagnosis from the ICD since 1996.
The initiative by LLH / FRI was called “Revise F65,” in reference to the classification category designated by the WHO’s ICD guidelines. Listed under “F65” in version 10 of the manual were “disorders of sexual preference:” fetishism, transvestic fetishism, sadomasochism, voyeurism, and paedophilia.
The ICD-10 defined paraphilias as “sexual urges, fantasies, or behaviors generally involving themes of suffering, humiliation, sexual activity with non-consenting partners, or an orientation toward non-human objects for sexual arousal.”
Of those listed in the ICD-10, fetishism, transvestic fetishism, and sadomasochism were removed while the remaining paraphilias were reclassified as “paraphilic disorders.” This was done to distinguish between “conditions that are relevant to public health and clinical psychopathology and those that merely reflect private behavior.”
In contrast, during a revision process overseen by academics who supported the depathologization of paraphilias, the term “gender identity disorder” was declassified as such and “reconceptualized as gender incongruence.”
During a 1998 LLH / FRI convention, it was stated that the decision to normalize paraphilias and sadomasochism was based on a Norwegian national survey conducted among their members who advocated “rejecting discrimination of leather, SM and transgender people”.
A website owned by Gustavson, eunuchmaker.co.uk, sold graphic videos of castrations and amputations. Registered in 2016, it also offered the option of paid monthly memberships for streaming videos of penectomies. Premium subscriptions included the option of a “free castration performed by the EunuchMaker”.
A registration form on the site listed possible “gender identities” based on sadomasochistic criteria. Among them were eunuch, nullo (nullification), and cutter, a euphemism for a person who performs male genital modification surgeries.
Promotions on his primary platform direct visitors to another URL owned by Gustavson, Eunuchmaker.info. Archived versions of the page redirect to yet another online community, the-em.com, which is cited in criminal charges filed October 21, 2020, in the U.S. state of Oklahoma against two men who participated in fetishistic genital surgeries.
Bobby Lee Allen and his partner Thomas Evan Gates were charged with conspiracy to commit an unlicensed surgery, maiming, and failure to bury a dead human member, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Allen and Gates had lured the man to their cabin by way of Gustavson’s Eunuch Maker’s website and forum.
Several of the Eunuch Maker’s followers are part of the nullification community. The growing “nullo” movement is centered around removing genitalia, and some gender clinics have begun marketing the operation towards those who identify as non-binary.
Members of the nullification cult afterwards may refer to themselves as eunuchs or “smoothies”. The trend is part of a sadomasochistic body modification fetish, and videos of genital surgeries or mutilation have been uploaded online to extreme pornography sites.

NRGDS Referral information
“Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear (CNTW) NHS Foundation Trust have had to make the difficult decision that, effective 23rd August 2023, we have temporarily paused all new referrals and transfers to the Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service (NRGDS) service.
Referrals to the NRGDS have increased significantly year-on-year with the service struggling to respond to increases in demand and blockages in the pathway. Over recent years NRGDS have worked closely with NHS England to develop new roles in line with service development. This includes recruiting peer support workers which allows service users access to support whilst awaiting treatment.”
How many staff does the service currently have?
The Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service is budgeted for 35.78 ‘whole time equivalent’ (WTE) staff. As of 25th August 2023, the service has 33.27 WTE staff. We have vacancies for 3.51 WTE staff.

Perhaps The Evening Chronicle could ask Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Trust:
Why is CNTW NHS Trust directing Professionals, and any patient or member of the public who consults the Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service “Information for Professionals” page, to WPATH SOC8: a document that promotes “eunuch” as a “gender identity”, recommends chemical or surgical castration for adults and links to a forum featuring sadomasochistic torture, sexual abuse, castration and murder of children for sexual gratification?
Is the Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service following the “Standards of Care” in WPATH SOC8: a document that promotes “eunuch” as a “gender identity”, recommends chemical or surgical castration for adults and links to a forum featuring sadomasochistic torture, sexual abuse, castration and murder of children for sexual gratification?

OMG. The very ugly truth behind The WPATH Files: which helps to explain why WPATH "Standards of Care" has now dropped lower age limits for wrong-sex hormones and genital mutilation (not just to get child abuse covered by insurance), and why the inability of children to give informed consent is also not a bug, but a feature of the system of organised medical child abuse.
All explained by the very useful link to the "Eunuch Archive" and its colourful fiction section.
They finally want the gullible public to know who they really are? But might they be feeling just a bit too safe? in an apparent presumption that these ugly revelations won't be a turning point in the success and downfall of the entire trans project...
This article needs to be sent to every national (and local) newspaper and broadcaster: to each of several desks (News, Features etc) to prevent its being immediately binned by any one trans supporter. And to every Member of Parliament.
It's hard to believe this was written six months ago but I've only just heard of the Eunuch Archive, from The WPATH Files. And even those don't reveal its full horrors.
That would be the WPATH that the Chair of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists is a member of, yeah?
