Milla Gauge, the Labour councillor for the Queens Park ward, resigned after criticising the council's response to safeguarding questions she raised.
In a statement shared with Brighton and Hove News, Ms Gauge said that her decision to resign came after a long period of reflection and attempts to make the council address residents' concerns on safeguarding.
Ms Gauge goes on to reference an investigation into WellBn GP Practice that revealed inappropriate prescribing for children and young people with gender dysphoria.
Cllr Sankey also said the forum to discuss it was the Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee which has responsibility for health oversight.
"As to the EHRC guidance, it is a flawed and confused document which seemingly contradicts obligations public bodies have under Labour's Human Rights Act.
