Article in The Sunday Times this morning. It appears the research has eventually been commissioned but no indication of how long it will take or when we can expect to seeing the findings published.

Sorry I don't have a share token, I read it as c+p on another website and I don't know if I'm allowed to link to it here.

"In early outcomes after the injections started in 2011 at the Gender Identity Development Service (Gids) in London, there was “no overall improvement in mood or psychological wellbeing” in the cohort. More than a quarter reported that their mood was worse."

So treatment with puberty blockers is going well then. Confused

That's an odd article.

Penny Mordaunt announced exactly the same thing in September 2018. Now in July 2019, she's announcing research into the numbers of girls changing gender? Who is doing this research? Presumably nothing has been done since the last announcement?

"Separately, England’s only child gender clinic has released a note from a study into the first 44 youngsters to receive puberty-blocking drugs there".

It is unclear from the article what this note actually is.

Sounds like GIDS themselves intend to publish their own research from the 2010 - 2014 study. Despite this being abandoned? Transgender Trend did an analysis on this study and its many shortcomings. www.transgendertrend.com/tavistock-experiment-puberty-blockers/

I'm a bit confused.

Do you think she was pushed into this after being outed by The Times?
