The Doctor of Pseudoscience: Helen Webberley

Helen Webberley, the founder of GenderGP and one of the most controversial figures in the gender-medicine debate, joins Andrew Gold for a fiery, uncomfortable and eye-opening conversation. In this unfiltered interview, Webberley defends her approach to gender healthcare while Andrew challenges her on claims of pseudoscience, medical certainty, and the real-world consequences of her advice. If you enjoy deep, challenging debates with people who sit at the centre of national controversy, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos This is one of the most intense interviews we’ve released — a clash between two completely different worldviews. Andrew presses Webberley on the foundations of her work: the evidence base behind her claims, her role at GenderGP, and the criticism she has received from regulators, doctors, journalists and former patients. Webberley pushes back, insisting her model is compassionate, progressive and rooted in lived experience. What follows is a heated debate about medicine, mental health, ethics, responsibility, and the meaning of scientific standards. Throughout the conversation, Andrew repeatedly challenges Webberley on whether her views can be supported by robust data, peer-reviewed research or long-term studies — questioning if her approach risks falling into pseudoscientific territory. Webberley disputes this strongly, arguing that traditional systems have failed trans people and that alternative pathways are necessary. The tension creates moments of real discomfort as both sides confront the human cost of getting these issues wrong. The interview explores crucial questions: – What counts as legitimate science in the gender-medicine space? – Have young people been harmed by untested or insufficiently regulated treatments? – Is the current gender-care model driven by evidence — or ideology? – And what responsibility do high-profile clinicians like Webberley carry? Nothing in this discussion is simple. Nothing is black and white. And whether you agree with Webberley or believe her critics, this conversation forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about modern gender medicine, healthcare ethics and the limits of “progressive” thinking. 🔥 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lh8SVtqpQI #HelenWebberley #GenderGP #AndrewGold #Heretics #TransDebate #GenderMedicine #PseudoscienceDebate #MedicalEthics #HereticsClips Learn more about your ad choices.
