Tavistock’s Experimentation with Puberty Blockers: Scrutinizing the Evidence

"To summarize, GIDS launched a study to administer experimental drugs to children suffering from gender dysphoria. Between 2010 and 2014, puberty blockers were given to 50 children. This study yielded only one published scientific article on outcomes. It showed no evidence for the effectiveness of GnRHa: there was no statistically significant difference in psychosocial functioning between the group given blockers and the group given only psychological support. In addition, there is unpublished evidence that after a year on GnRHa children reported greater self-harm, and that girls experienced more behavioural and emotional problems and expressed greater dissatisfaction with their body—so puberty blockers exacerbated gender dysphoria. Yet the study has been used to justify rolling out this drug regime to several hundred children aged under 16. Almost five years after the last patient was enrolled in the experiment, there is no evidence to substantiate Carmichael’s claim ‘that the results thus far have been positive’."

Has this been posted here? Apologies if so. I thought this particular screen shot was pertinent to the thread.

No I hadn't, thanks. Shocking.

My point posting the below photo is that there seemed to be a stark increase in 'trans children' with the introduction of the blockers.

As an aside, someone mentioned to me recently that the hippocampus (see sheep study) is thought to be smaller in people with bi polar disorder.

Testosterone from a brother in the womb can make female twins less successful, study suggests
Scientists find potential impact of male hormone exposure on everything from education success to money earned in later life

Doesn't this study suggest that testosterone is bad for female development?

Would that suggest giving testosterone to young girls would be problematic?

If you are a transman do you stop taking hormones whilst pregnant?

Pregnancy and trans women anyone?
