I cannot believe we are back to square one, with NHS England backing an experimental trial of puberty blockers on healthy, vulnerable children, ignoring the damage already done.

The No1 rule of medicine is "do no harm".
This is activist ideology masquerading as research.

I'm urging MPs of all parties to sign this letter from me and Shadow Health Secretary Stuart Andrew for Daventry, calling for Wes Streeting to step in and stop this trial before more damage is done to children who are too young to understand what they are doing to themselves.

I caught this on radio 4 yesterday, this is about a TRIAL on children, to satisfy an agenda. Who in their right mind would let a child enter this trial. There was discussion on lifelong harm and children can’t contract to age 18 - completely unethical

There is strong evidence that this 'treatment' is harmful. There is no evidence that it is beneficial to gender confused children.

How can this be ethical?

And yet the Cass Report recommended the trial so it sounds like they weren't sure either way in the end.

I'm not a medical expert but perhaps since the drug was already widely used for decades for precocious puberty (a condition my niece suffered from & went on to have children after being on puberty blockers) & off label usage is routine in medical treatments, it passed medical ethical scrutiny for trial. Serious potential side effects are common with many drugs including mental health drugs prescribed to children for ADHD.

In any case, political interference in medical treatment is very concerning however you feel about gender affirming care.

Didn't the Cass Report recommend the trial given the evidence wasn't strong enough yet?

Seems like the only way to settle this issue.

Badenoch has been very consistent on this issue, she has definitely been doing her research.
