That puberty blockers should not be promoted for children by any charities or celebrities for children.

Loads of news today about the NHS stopping puberty blockers being given to children who think they are trans. Puberty blockers are sometimes prescribed for children who have precocious puberty, however a narrative that has been pushed by Mermaids, Stonewall and celebrities like India Willoughby and Emma Watson (who gave a large donation to Mermaids) - that puberty blockers are safe and "lifesaving"

WPATH guidelines in the USA which the UK NHS have followed in procedure have had leaked documents and videos showing that they knew that children didn't have the ability to understand the long term effects.

And a new Finnish Study debunks the idea that children who say they are trans are more suicidal https://archive.ph/h0BtF

However Mermaids, Stonewall and India Willoughby are pushing puberty blockers as safe.

AIBU to think that anyone pushing puberty blockers at this point is unethical? And that they should never have been allowed to be given to children who did not need them for precocious puberty where the risks are weighed up against the side effects and they are only used short term?

@CanadaNotAMum what has that got to do with puberty blockers that stop a child going through a healthy puberty?

Do you know what Puberty Blockers are?

It's so easy to forget this.

Well, I am looking forward to seeing what WPATH does in the next week or so since they seem to have realised that the weak arsed 'rebuttals' that some extreme trans activists declared were 'forensic' and well evidenced have been shown to be anything but and they have removed SOC8 from public view on their website.

All these posters declaring puberty blockers are safe who then produced not one shred of evidence that they are safe is so common place. I honestly don't think they can find anyway to acknowledge they were wrong because they truly are ideologically bound to their beliefs.

Maybe though, in the future, some posters who simply plop and effectively run, will understand that their tactics don't fucking work to do anything except make that poster feel righteous indeed. The rest of us will work to gain greater understanding for ourselves and those reading.

And possibly Marci has gone? Somehow it feels too amazing to be true though. https://x.com/shellenberger/status/1770042611807486187?s=46&t=A2f...

And so many of these kids who are seduced by this into castrating themselves haven't had their first kiss yet.

I believe SOC8 is back. A website blip apparently.
