Children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, NHS England has confirmed.
The government said it welcomed the “landmark decision”, adding it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the “best interests of the child”.
The NHS England policy document, published on Tuesday, said: “We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of (puberty blockers) to make the treatment routinely available at this time.”
So your solution for “not messing with kids” is to mess with kids?
They are puberty blockers, which are meant to delay the onset of puberty until the kid is old enough to decide themselves.
They delay a choice, whereas denying them to a trans person is you forcing them to go through a puberty they might not want.
