BREAKING: Children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at "gender clinics"
 
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”.

TalkTV's Julia Hartley Brewer hailed the "fantastic news".

"Experimental drugs with huge harms should never have been given to children in the first place. Finally common sense, scientific fact and medical ethics have triumphed," she said.

Health minister, Maria Caulfield, said: “We have always been clear that children’s safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS.

Yes Good News

Good news. Let children be children. The blockers should never be allowed or anyone below 18.

Yet the very same medication will still be prescribed to children for uses other than trans treatment, so they clearly aren’t that unsafe are they? It’s just so disgustingly obvious that this is yet another punishment for trans people and their families who love and support them

They're using these drugs on kids for other types of treatment?

Personally I feel that these drugs should be for adults, but what's the point of the Government supporting a ban on these drugs being used on children for Trans treatment, if it can just be claimed to be given to a child for a different reason?

Basically imo, the Government should either be outright banning the drug being used on kids, or they're perfectly okay with the kids taking this medication, not some weird fudge in the middle, like you're saying that they're doing, because I don't support fudging the middle on such a serious debate like this.

What do pubic blockers do?

For a young boy, would he still have a little boys penis at 18?

Only for cases of precocious puberty, or when children start to develop at an unusually low age. Non-typical puberty is linked with various types of cancer and obesity, which is why it's usually stalled for a couple of years.

I can't remember the name but a transgirl who had a reality show couldn't have "The Surgery" because the blockers stopped their development and there wasn't enough to work with. They had to have a procedure which used colon lining, or something.

Phew

Glad we are allowing medical professionals to treat children and not their parents and tiktok

It’s complete madness.. there are thousands of teenage girls around 13 or 14 years old in this country who are binding their chests !!

Can’t be a good idea on any level .. at that age

Okay, thanks for the information, Oliver.:)

I'm not going to claim to be an expert on the topic, so I'm going to trust that the medical staff know what they're doing.
