Puberty blocker trial - petition

[Leafstamp]

I couldn’t see a thread here for this.

It’s already at over 30k signatures. Aim is to get it to 100k.

It will reach 50K by 10pm

Just passed the 50k now

50,448. Over halfway

51,380

Now the 16th most popular petition on the site.

Musk's involvement has triggered news item

It’s on AIBU but the thread hasn’t had a lot of take up.

The only thread I could see on AIBU about this was an old one which the OP had revived with a link to the petition. It probably needs a new thread specifically about the petition to get more attention. I'm not going to start one though - I hate starting threads.

Just went past 55K

I’ve done one here

Good X message from JKR

I've signed. This is an unethical experiment on children who can't give meaningful consent.
