Puberty blockers for under-18s with gender dysphoria will be banned indefinitely across the UK except for use in clinical trials, the government has announced.
Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said that after receiving advice from medical experts, he would make existing emergency measures banning the sale and supply of puberty blockers indefinite.
The Department of Health and Social Care said the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) had published independent expert advice that there was “currently an unacceptable safety risk in the continued prescription of puberty blockers to children”.
Care to elaborate on the safety risks there, Wes?
While I don’t agree with it’s findings, there is a 388-page report this decision is based on.
that was debunked numerous times
link the debunking pls
What was the debunked? That a report exists?
The report exists, but it has so many errors, misinterpreting its own data to bend to the conclusions its authors decided they wanted to find, lots of cherry picking, and ignoring any fact inconvenient to its conclusions.
Imagine a paper that concludes that dowsing or homeopathy is good science. It’s about that accurate.
If you manipulate the data, a lie will sell itself.
Also it was commissioned by the Tories, to be done by a woman who before even starting her research for the report, was clearly biased against trans people.
the entire points of the report were debunked… like a lot
K…I started my original comment with, “While I don’t agree with it’s findings,” and was responding to a comment asking for elaboration on the safety risks. I was just providing context, not stating the report was gospel-truth or anything.
Wait… are you saying you are a messenger? GET HIM!!!1111
Can you highlight the main errors of the report?
well considering the author, herself, backpeddled
