From Heather B-E:

"Britain's experiment with puberty blockers is set to be exposed tonight on Newsnight BBC 2 at 10.30 pm. Michael Biggs chapter in our latest book broke the story! t.co/FV5FLye1oX"

This should be interesting....

Gids says informed consent was obtained

I wish they would talk about gender stereotypes and sterilisation of children.

The abandoned rocking horse

...Sounds like an episode of hammers house of horrors...

There is no such fucking thing as gender identity.

No adolescent withdrew and all went on to take cross sex hormones. - no shit Sherlock. Women have been highlighting this fact for ages.

I don’t normally watch Newsnight. Is this style of film typical? ... The abandoned rocking horse...?

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:05

Rather than providing a pause, lift children went onto cross sex hormones

Lack of information to make a decision.

Let's talk about guinea pigs!

Missing scienctific data

Not informed consent...

Blocking a fundamental physiological process, that's not going to cause any problems is it?

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:02

Limited evidence

Macareaux · 22/07/2019 23:02

Spooky music

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:02

Unlicensed, may not be supported by robust research

HumberElla · 22/07/2019 23:01

Queasy camera angles, lots of facts, pointing out no robust research. It’s not fluffy so far.

Macareaux · 22/07/2019 23:01

I bet the women of MN could have an accurate stab as to why referral numbers are skyrocketing.

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:01

Yes! Is is unacceptable to have a lower standard of care for a group that are already vulnerable

3dogs2cats · 22/07/2019 23:01

Uhh got this on, don’t think I can bear it, born in the wrong body bollocks

Erythronium · 22/07/2019 23:00

97 referrals to 2590 in the space of a decade.

CoolCarrie · 22/07/2019 23:00
