Following the shocking ethical corruption exposé at WPATH — the world’s so-called authority on treating trans children — the UK’s health authority (NHS) has banned prescribing puberty blockers for kids 16 years-old and under.
Puberty blockers are typically given to prepubescent children who think they are transgender. So-called experts have claimed doing so merely “pauses” puberty and allows the confused youth to explore their presumed “gender identity” until they want to either make a more drastic decision and lop off their genitalia or breasts — or not.
However, the NHS just dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, effectively admitting more trials are needed before it can be determined that puberty blockers are safe to give to vulnerable minors.
In fact, the NHS states what many have been saying all along — that puberty blockers have irreversible effects on children — including making them sterile.
“Puberty blockers (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues) are not available to children and young people for gender incongruence or gender dysphoria because there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness,” their website now reads.
It further states that “these hormones cause some irreversible changes, such as:
- breast development (caused by taking oestrogen)
- breaking or deepening of the voice (caused by taking testosterone)”
“Long-term cross-sex hormone treatment may cause temporary or even permanent infertility,” it adds.
WPATH under fire
Leaked files last week indicated that members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) often engage in improvised treatments without meeting the rigorous standards expected in medical care. One leaked video clip shows one WPATH panel member acknowledging that many young adults who received so-called gender affirming care later experience “reproductive regret.”
NHS didn’t cite the WPATH files in their decision. However, NHS noted a review they commissioned from Dr. Hilary Cass, who in 2022 released an extensive report on England’s only specialized clinic that treated children and teenagers for gender dysphoria, the Tavistock gender clinic. The NHS force-closed the clinic after viewing Cass’s report, which found the clinic was unsafe for children, lacked evidence in dolling out prescriptions, and didn’t bother to track long-term data.
England’s health minister, Maria Caulfield, welcomed NHS’ decision, saying “We have always been clear that children’s safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS.”
“Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child,” she added.
Smith one step ahead
The development also comes two months after Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced she would be banning the prescription of hormone therapy and puberty blockers to minors under 16, which led to far-left media and politicians to call her “anti-LGBTQ.”
Science does not support giving minors medical interventions
Despite the sudden appearance of the term “trans kids,” not everyone accepts the concept, and for understandable reasons.
One study shows that most minors who believe they are in the wrong body later realize they were simply confused.
Another recent study suggests that giving puberty blockers to “trans kids” may lower their IQ, along with several other negative effects — including making them sterile.
And another recent study revealed that transgender women (biological males) who take “gender-affirming” hormones face a 95% higher risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions.
