Update on the puberty blockers trial

28 replies

Hoardasurass · Yesterday 14:53

They're going ahead with the puberty blockers trial and it will be open to girls as young as 11 and boys from 12. So it looks like we're going to have to fight again to stop this eugenics campaign of sterilising predominantly gay and autistic children

Girls as young as 11 set to be handed puberty blockers

Experiment revived despite potential ‘long-term biological harms’

This is horrific. I seriously (and naively) thought we were past all that. Those poor children.

@KkkItas others have said this is not a harmless pause button. This is deeply damaging medication which sterilises children. Can you imagine a 14 yo with the mental age of a 10 yo in a class of other 14 yos? Well that’s the least damaging bit. Most children who say they are trans are already pretty vulnerable and struggling socially. They are autistic, gay and victims of sexual assault. You have just divided them further from any hope of peer group friendships and sterilised them.

There are, tragically, thousands of adults who were put on puberty blockers as children who we could study as a natural experiment to see what the effects are. Standard medical ethics say this should be researchers’ first port of call. Instead they choose to sterilise more children who are too young to consent.

Where can I donate to the legal challenge? I would like to do something to help these children.

It is NOT ok to experiment on kids as young as 11 and make irreversible changes to their bodies.

We must protect children from dangerous ideology.

Conservatives will not just sit back and let this happen. I refuse to believe MPs, if given the chance, would let this continue. That is why we will force a vote, not just to pause this trial but to stop it completely.

Be interesting to see what would happen if they get the debate.

As the official opposition the Tories get 17 out of the 20 "Opposition Days" to choose what to debate in parliament. There is nothing preventing Kemi Badenoch using one of their days to force a vote on this subject.
