No child is born in the wrong body - Kemi Badenoch. Letter to Wes Streeting

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.

Perhaps you’re not aware of the unreliability, bias and entirely self-interested position of WPATH - which is far from a body entirely composed of medical experts, which thinks that “eunuch” is a gender identity, and some of whose more thoughtful medical members (there are some) have questioned treatment pathways and the ways in which this information is communicated to children and their parents.
You’re probably also not aware that many, if not most, Mumsnetters who read and post on these boards know this very well.

This is worse - those were isolated incidents.

This is an ideology that has taken root in our institutions and education systems and has done a great job of brainwashing so many.

Hence more widespread as status and ‘special, stunning & brave’ status is conferred.

Funding is given. Attention offered. Mental distress is ignored.

It’s much worse than social contagion- it’s abuse by government and people who are supposed to care for these children.

The WPATH files have been thoroughly discedited.

WPATH clinicians deliberately suppress its own systematic review because it showed treatments didn’t help children.

It’s laughable people still come on here trying to “educate” us while themselves knowing nothing.

You do realise we're talking about children, don't you?

There is plenty of evidence of 'social contagion'. Ask a teacher ( i was one myself, and my daughter now teaches) Girls are especially susceptible but also young people on the autistic spectrum. https://www.transgendertrend.com

This organisation was formed by a group of teachers, health professionals and parents.

Because they’re bought into an ideology- and will lose too much to say the emperor has no clothes on.

I hope they’re all sued and names brought into the open.

😂

You would need peer reviewed research to draw any sound conclusions just like the standard puberty blockers was held to.

To quote you

‘Just assuming a theory isn't how the scientific method works’.

The strategic reviews commissioned by WPATH were withheld because they did not show what WPATH needed them to. See page 32 in attached https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-477/328275/20241015131826340_2024.10.15%20-%20Ala.%20Amicus%20Br.%20iso%20TN%20FINAL.pdf#page42

Are you the poster who claimed 70 children coming out in one school was due to their mothers' drinking the same water?

You will, of course know, that Dr Rachel Levine ( former lead for health in the Biden administration, and trans identified) actually commissioned a report by John Hopkins University into gender transition and its health impacts, but then suppressed the findings because they did not confirm what he wanted them to confiirm.

General suicide risk factors are evidenced based conclusions that you can freely google for research on.

Have you read that by Reed? It is notably wrong.

Surely there is already LOTS of data on the impact of “puberty blocker” drugs like buserelin as they are used to suppress the hormones during ivf cycles and have been for decades??? There will already be copious amounts of data on the hormonal, emotional and physical impact given how closely monitored those patients have been. They’re also used to treat prostate cancer and endometriosis. I fail to see why we need to recruit children to be tested in any way.

Does the Ethics Committee publish its reasoning? I don't see how it's ethical simply from the timescale. It's too short to prove anything but long enough to risk damage.

That has been difficult though hasn't it, because those involved in the gender industry have an interest in not doing follow ups. Yet, for those with genuine interest in actual peer reviewed longer term studies will know that studies have been done ( in Sweden, as but one example) that show longer term negative and adverse outcomes. It is also why New Zealand has now banned the use of puberty blockers.

Streeting should say no. He doesn’t have to agree to a damaging trial on children.

There has been a well documented explosion in mental health issues in recent years, to which younger people are especially susceptible. Social media has amplified and escalated this trend. You cannot be unaware of this.

Apparently they're not publishing it all, because of 'prejudice'.

“In this instance, we have concluded that the public interest in withholding the information until its planned publication, combined with the likelihood of prejudice, outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure.”'

So there have been trials of other drugs on children which are known to be harmful but there is little or no evidence of beneficial effects? And it's been decided to go ahead with the trial because a few doctors hold a passionate belief that they are effective (despite the lack of evidence)?

Can you post some links. This sounds fascinating.

Probelm for Streeting is that he is quietly going about a campaign to be the next Labour leader and he needs to keep his activist backbenchers on side. Labour are all over the place. There is no coherency or consistency. Leadership aims to appease activists on all sides.

Children can't give informed consent to be sterilised and to have their sexual function impaired.

The hyperbole about 'saving children's lives' to try and justify this has been thoroughly and multiply debunked as well as pointed out many times that repeating and reinforcing this for adult agendas is exceptionally irresponsible.

The answer to children in mental distress does not usually involve answers involving severe medical damage to the body as a known outcome with unknown even further risks in adulthood. It's as unacceptable as a lobotomy. (Which also at the time was passionately touted as the medical answer to unbearable mental distress. In the eyes of those with medical and familial responsibility to the patient who consented on their behalf.)

As mentioned on the other thread: the children selected for this appalling experiment will also be receiving all the additional supports put in place since the blockers were banned, so it will not be possible or clear what improvements come from what actions, and the time of study is far too short. Essentially this is not a well planned experiment even if you can detach your mind from this being children, and the outcomes from it will not be useable evidence to prove anything either way.

The plan about just picking candidates more carefully, checking sincerity etc, would not have saved Keira Bell. How many detransitioned, regretting and medically damaged adults are acceptable collateral damage?
