No more puberty blockers for children from the NHS - reported in the Times!

[MrsOvertonsWindow]

This is massive - and long overdue

www.thetimes.co.uk/article/97ce2e81-2884-42f5-bb82-2a2778f2cc91?shareToken=9568e79f0683beea68ffe5e978b05a29

Reduced, dialled back and restricted are still not the same as "nhs will not prescribe." I think that is what is significant

Yes your point MrsOverton is v important. I've just seen the old tweet by Jameela doing the rounds again where she claimed half her class in the 90s were on pbs for heavy periods.

PBS have been normalised everywhere on social media and TV as if they're beta blockers or in Jameela'a case, contraceptive pills.

Kids (and some activist parents) feel entitled to them now. The whole conversation needs to be turned on its head.

So. When will parents and their children start suing?

Haven’t RTFT but sharing in case not already seen

Such good news! Interestingly the BBC article about doesn’t use the word ‘trans’ at all, but talks about gender distress. If we are able to use the more accurate phrase of children ‘suffering gender distress’ or similar that will make such a difference in enabling honest discussions and proper evidence/based support.

As you said upthread WarriorN, we're having to de programme society who've been serially gaslit to the extent that we've stood by (not all of us evidently) while children have been cynically targeted, gaslit and persuaded that their bodies are wrong. That puberty is optional and unimportant.
The extent of the lies that have been foisted on children are unbelievable and catastrophic in equal measure.

Now. These oarents are suing the NHS about what has been done to their children:

Exactly this

I can’t believe it but it is so good to see it exposed

I do feel so sorry for the parents who’ve gone along with it, thinking they were doing the right thing. It must be tough to live with.

Thank god… finally acknowledging that there is no evidence to support this. Which concerned women and parents have been highlighting for a decade. Please let there be a public inquiry into how this unresearched evidence free prescribing ever happened.

Sorry if it’s been posted already but here is stonewall’s response. Note they say it’s a reversible treatment

The NHS doc doesn't use 'trans'.

What are Stonewall and Mermaids saying ? Oppose the NHS decision and it shows them up for what they are

Yes. Starkly clear.

They are willing to risk children's health to support their bullshit ideology.

Remember when Stonewall said they don't give medical advice?
It appears they now do.......

And to feed their egos and to keep hold of the banhammer and to keep the money train a moving.

I missed the last page of their post, which is signposting people to other organisations. Interestingly, mermaids isn’t on that list

Thank you @BonnyBo

Unfortunately during this process a bunch of kids will be sacrificed to demonstrate the known problems.

Not one kid more should be experimented on with this on the basis of the evidence we ALREADY have.

Isn't there a current Hollyoaks storyline heading a kid towards a trans identity? I presume it will already have been filmed, but it is potentially going to look weird if they go down medical pathway now.

I'm struggling to see what in new here? This was announced some time ago and Hannah Barney's has talked a fair bit about the issues of getting ethical approval for studies for those who are prescribed them as part of a trial (eg on the Bari Weiss podcast last year).

I recognise that I am probably missing the aspect that is new, but can't work out what it is. Can someone help me out?

I get David Bell's concerns about adolescence lasting until 25 years, and also concerns about young people transferring to adult services at 17 years, but at least they will have had the health benefits of normal development until then.

About my post at 21:07 above, I've now listened to the whole of Nolan Investigates [Stonewall] episode 5 and yes the Tavistock did successfully appeal the 2021 High Court decision to block puberty medication to under-16s. Many on this thread already know that, but I didn't.

I hope that the tranche of GIDS children 2021-2024 get their day in court sometime in the future. Now I'm going to listen to the rest of the Nolan Investigates [Stonewall], because it's been clear to me for a long time now that Stonewall is the problem. [Note to self if this gets deleted I'll know that mentioning Stonewall is a no-no.]

On BBC news just now they can still be used experimentally. In what circumstances could that be justified I wonder, given the mounting evidence of harm?

Is there no child that Stonewall, Mermaids et al won't chuck under the bus to further their distorted view of the world?
