Saw this being shared on facebook. Quote:

No child is born in the wrong body.

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.

Because there’s nothing to see here. Parents are supposed to look the other way, believe the tiny number of true unicorns narrative and applaud the school to clinic pipeline.

It’s v inconvenient that the sheer numbers of children sucked in has made it impossible to ignore.

v bad form for parents to object to loss of parental authority and point out the vast numbers in their kids’ friend group make the tiny numbers narrative a big fat lie. Worse still to point out the MASSIVE drawbacks for children’s mental and physical health of a trial like this.

we should STFU immediately
(sarcasm throughout)

The other thing is, this focus that these numbers couldn’t possibly be correct is also a version of ‘those children must not be transgender when they say they are’.

Meaning - apparently children declaring they are transgender cannot possibly be transgender!

Whodafuckingthoughtthat?

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.

Your terminology gender affirming care means I know you believe in puberty blockers and cross sex hormones.

I haven't had time to read all of this thread, and never thought it would be used to replicate the existing discussion thread. I posted late at night any maybe should have indicated the existing discussion.

Thought it might lead to a discussion about how the politcians are dancing around this issue.

Though to be fair to KB I think she has been consistent and her letter isn't really a suprise.

Consistent, and willing to put in the effort to become informed on the subject instead of presuming she already knows the issues and thinking herself to be a kind, modern, liberal minded, good person on the right side of history fighting the good fight for the oppressed few.
