A great day for child safeguarding, this is evidence, reason and medical expertise over pressure groups.

A terrible shame for those children that this is too late for, who have been permanently harmed by ideologues and will never be able to have their body back the way it should have grown.

Can't wait for clinicians to start being listened to on this subject.

Show quote history

They are. thats what it was banned. Thats why cross sex hormones for those under 25 ish will be banned soon as well

You will grow out of this buddy and those that don't just need some good quality psychotherapy.

Sian Berry just proved to the world why clinicians not politicians should be listened to in this

Fantastic early Christmas

Now we need to support childen so they don't think that's the answer

Very much.

allowing the narrative to be “if you feel uncomfortable in yourself you need drugs and surgery” is unforgivable

we must change it

Great news. Streeting has been brilliant on this issue.

This is very good news - it protects young children, who cannot really give properly informed consent about taking a medication that will retard growth, potentially make them sexually dysfunctional and anorgasmic, potentially make them sterile, and which has never been properly tested for this use.

If you go back to a very early episode of Gender: A Wider Lens podcast, Stella O'Malley & Sasha Ayad interview the Dutch medicos who institute the "Dutch protocol." It's pretty shocking, that they dismiss the children who died or whose symptoms of unease and depression did not diminish. They focused only on the "successful" patients.

And if their protocol had had to go through an ethics application at my university, it would have been chucked out, absolutely at the first review.

Great news.

I wasn’t a fan of Wes Streeting pre election really stepped up and shown that he gets the concerns regarding safe guarding of women and children and he’s made swift moves.

Absolutely the correct decision

Brilliant news, bodily harm to autistic and gay young people who were being told by adults that they were born wrong was about as anti- safeguarding as you get.

Well done Wes Streeting.
