DessertStormsChildren to stop getting puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, says NHS England
**Confirmation comes after public consultation and decision to close Gender Identity Development Service in London**...
MurvelAlready in place in Sweden since a few years back:

Complete insanity to subject children to life altering therapy without comprehensive evidentiary basis. It’s the right call.
DasusComplete insanity to subject children to life altering therapy without comprehensive evidentiary basis. It’s the right call.
Says the person who clearly hasn’t looked at the safety, efficacy and reversibility of puberty blockers.
So giving the child medication that’s been comprehensively studied on an evidentiary basis and found to be safe, so that they might delay a life-altering thing until they’re old enough to decide is “complete insanity”?
But denying that safe medication to them to force them to go through a puberty that might not be in accordance with their gender identity, possibly deeply psychologically (and indirectly even physically sometimes) traumatising them. That’s “sanity”?
You know what’s complete insanity? Allowing people without any knowledge on the subject to think their opinions matter more than doctors’.
There isn’t enough evidence to claim it’s safe, therefore the ban, both in Britain and Sweden. How is this not getting trough?
Except there is, they’ve been widely used for decades. (Mainly for precocious puberty for cis people.)
We have even longitudinal studies about the long term safety.
We also have research showing endocrine intervention is most times more effective than psychiatric medication to trans people.
That’s the medical consensus. And it’s being challenged by non-medical experts claiming they know the state of the literature without having read it or without having been educated on the subject, because they have some sort of internalised “icky” feeling towards trans people that populist politicians keep exploiting.
Wake up and read the science
Jesus fucking christ then go dig up all your fucking sources. I have already linked mine.
Yes, your one quick google search really proved your point there. I’m sure you tried really hard to understand the whole issue in the two minutes it took you to skim an article and make sure it confirmed your bias.
They didn’t even link any science.
They linked an article in Swedish saying how the bureaucrats are afraid.
There’s nothing scientific about their link.
It’s essentially the same thing tobacco companies kept trying to do for decades “no no we don’t have enough science yet, we can’t say that conclusively, no no, the science isn’t in yet” despite mountains of evidence showing smoking is harmful.
It’s the same thing now with trans healthcare. They like to chant “There’s no evidence” while ignoring the actual evidence, of which there is a metric fuckton of
It’s because they don’t care about the science or the kids. They never did.
You haven’t linked any science on the matter at all.
You’ve linked a page that fearmongers about trans people just like conservatives did when homosexuality was removed from criminal law. (Look up some of the news stories from Sweden around that time.)
It’s the same “no but we don’t need to believe the science to make our decisions” bullshit it’s always been. Just like I said, people wholly ignorant on the subject, like you, think that linking some page you’ve not even read “proves” you right, when that page has literally no science on it and the text isn’t written by doctors.

(I don’t think you’ll read it and even if you you’ll think “but what has this got to do with the topic”, because you don’t understand even the basics, like what the medication is we’re discussing and what it’s used for.)

This should be pretty clear even for the less versed reader
#The novel findings provided by the study of Nos and colleagues add to the growing body of work demonstrating that GnRHa therapy is a safe and necessary component of transgender care, especially for the child or adolescent with gender dysphoria.
There’s literally nothing that would make you admit you’re wrong, despite not knowing the first thing about the subject you’re talking about.
