Puberty blockers for under-18s banned after warning of ‘unacceptable risk’ to children - Existing emergency measures in UK outlawing sale and supply to be made indefinite following official advice from medical experts

Puberty blockers for under-18s with gender dysphoria will be banned indefinitely across the UK except for use in clinical trials, the government has announced.

Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said that after receiving advice from medical experts, he would make existing emergency measures banning the sale and supply of puberty blockers indefinite.


The Department of Health and Social Care said the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) had published independent expert advice that there was “currently an unacceptable safety risk in the continued prescription of puberty blockers to children”.

Streeting said the commission had recommended indefinite restrictions while work is done to ensure the safety of children and young people.

The NHS announced in March that children would no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, with the then Conservative government saying this would help ensure care was based on evidence and was in the “best interests of the child”.

In May, that government introduced a ban on puberty blockers through emergency legislation, preventing the prescription of the medication from European or private prescribers and restricting NHS provision to within clinical trials.

A challenge to that ruling, brought by campaigners who said they were concerned for the safety and welfare of young trans people in the UK, failed in July when the high court ruled that the ban was lawful.

Dr Hilary Cass, who wrote the Cass review into children’s gender care and published her final report in April, described puberty blockers as “powerful drugs with unproven benefits and significant risks”.

She said: “That is why I recommended that they should only be prescribed following a multi-disciplinary assessment and within a research protocol. I support the government’s decision to continue restrictions on the dispensing of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria outside the NHS where these essential safeguards are not being provided.”

the age of illegal bootlegging of troonshine is now upon us.

I don't think they're going to be bootlegging so-called puberty blockers though. The only reason they can do it with estrogen is because you can already buy powdered estrogen in bulk from sketchy Chinese chemical suppliers. Just add bathwater!

I like that I can look back on this in 15 years when my kids speak to me about it and I can say “I never hated anyone, John. I just wasn’t stupid enough to believe the shit your mother did. Now she lives with the shame.”

Foreign law may not hold much water to others but this can be pointed to for an already established precedent that was, wait for it, literally approved of by experts and science.

That's exactly it.

The Cass Review was the first and, as far as I can make out, only independent review into trans medicine and its impact on the most vulnerable in society.
No input from Mermaids or Stonewall.
No input from WPATH or their associated paedophile groups,
No input from flag waving men with blue hair called Lilith.

There is no science or proper research to be had other than Cass, so countries ignoring that and continuing on with this self indulgent nonsense are going to have some serious questions to answer when this whole gender nonsense finally collapses.

Anyone interested in how civilized society could support slavery or lobotomies has only to look at this shit and realize that civilized society will be fine with supporting anything.

im of the belief that well look back at troon stuff like lobotomy by the end of this century.

TERF island W. Troons coping, seething and dilating. You love to see it.

 

[SimplyScrumptious]

I wonder what UK troons will now find to make their entire identity about. Attention seeking retards don't just stfu once they've had the spotlight.

Probably therian. Although some already claim furry. What’s the difference? Idfk. It’s like saying you’re pan instead of bi.

1% is trans mind games to look more relevant. Do people seriously think 1/100 people are trans?

If transgenderism is indeed a real ailment it is significantly rarer than 1%. Whatever this modern mess of it is has surely sullied the water and, like I said if it is real, future sufferers will find it hard to be taken seriously. Honestly I liken it to DID- exists but not in the way the media and fakers want you to believe & is incredibly rare.

I’m much more convinced that discomfort with your sex is a symptom rather than a condition though.

2024 really has been a great year. Perhaps 2025 will see common sense return.

By his logic there is no evidence that opioids cause harm, which is why they are still available for children.

Troons are loons when it comes to playing fast and loose with the truth.

Think bigger. Sell testosterone as "girl juice" and you might turn a groomed confused boy straight. At worst you'll ruin a middle-aged groomer's fetish and make it even harder for him to infiltrate women's spaces.

Watch, they're now gonna do a moral panic campaign of "The rise of Trans youth suicide in the UK"

Nah. I expect a full blown pivot away from trans kids to "we never promoted that". Now that it's an icky topic.

 

[DSP for president 2032]

How was there a debate that PB weren't damaging to children to begin with ? It's fucking logical they would be.

If you ask a troon or troonally today, they will still tell you PB are fully reversible and harmless. It's the party line, baby!

 

[isalaide]

Wes Streeting, the unlikely Hammer of the Troons. Well done, greasy little Wes. Everything else you do will be a despicable fuck up, but at least the physical poisoning and brainwashing of victims of CSA will now stop.

This is not the beginning of the end for troonery but can we say this is the end of the beginning?

Blair White and Buck Angel did a whole talk together about how neither of them had to transition in childhood to achieve their looks. It's completely unecessary. If you're not getting the results you wanted as a tranny it's your genetics, not because you weren't chemically-castrated in your youth.

More than one person has had the idea of selling saline as HRT (without any labels as to such) and it's a damn tempting idea for a fundraiser.

Surely nobody could have predicted that giving children chemicals intended to castrate violent sexual offenders could have any lasting, negative effects.
