Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at NHS England gender identity clinics in a new “blow” to gender-affirming healthcare.
Puberty blockers are a type of medicine that prevent puberty from starting by blocking the hormones – like testosterone and oestrogen – that lead to puberty-related changes in the body. In the case of trans youth, this can delay unwanted physical changes like menstruation, breast growth, voice changes or facial hair growth.
On Tuesday (12 March), NHS England confirmed the medicine, which has been described as “life-saving” medical care for trans youth, will only be available to young people as part of clinical research trials.
The government described the move as a “landmark decision”, Sky News reported. It believed such a move is in the “best interests of the child”.
Discovered in 1971, and introduced for medical use in the 1980s.
“Where can I find studies about it”?
Have you tried perhaps, idk, a search engine? How do I have a feeling that even if I were to show you the science which agrees that they are safe medications, you’d have an “argument” in which you criticise the info without even reading it.
People perfectly well know how to look for things online, and when they pretend not to… well, it smells fishy. Fishy, like sealions.
You seem really unpleasant. Good luck out there, friend.
You seem really pretentious.
I hope you get over that. I can give you some contacts if you need a good therapist, buddy.
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith
