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....

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

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:01

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

Macareaux · 22/07/2019 23:01

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

HumberElla · 22/07/2019 23:01

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

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:02

Unlicensed, may not be supported by robust research

Macareaux · 22/07/2019 23:02

Spooky music

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:02

Limited evidence

Erythronium · 22/07/2019 23:03

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

RedToothBrush · 22/07/2019 23:04

Not informed consent...

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:04

Missing scienctific data

MangoesAreMyFavourite · 22/07/2019 23:04

Lack of information to make a decision.

Let's talk about guinea pigs!

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:05

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

BigotedWoman · 22/07/2019 23:05

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

Macareaux · 22/07/2019 23:05

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

Macareaux · 22/07/2019 23:06

There is no such fucking thing as gender identity.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 22/07/2019 23:06

The abandoned rocking horse

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

HumberElla · 22/07/2019 23:07

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

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:07

Gids says informed consent was obtained

MangoesAreMyFavourite · 22/07/2019 23:07

Polly Carmichael - question about why non stop (once on this path), is it we are not prescribing for enough people? Or are we putting them (on a track)

Really Polly? Hmm

LangCleg · 22/07/2019 23:07

They've gone with the Vic Derbyshire Special Wistful Music vibe, I see.

Harps. About a potential medical scandal, FFS.

newtlover · 22/07/2019 23:08

increased self report of self harm when on puberty blockers-
but poor research design

HumberElla · 22/07/2019 23:08

Susan Bewley now stressing need for good medical practice

EweSurname · 22/07/2019 23:09

These observations should have given gids pause

Erythronium · 22/07/2019 23:09

The production values for this piece are ridiculous. The message is that it's not important and isn't to be taken seriously.

RedToothBrush · 22/07/2019 23:09

Susan Bewley was the one who took Dr Harrop to pieces on twitter with Margaret McCartney the other day wasn't she?
