UK to ban puberty blockers indefinitely for under-18s with gender dysphoria
At last, finally: "The ban on giving puberty blockers to under-18s questioning their gender identify is to be made permanent, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has announced".
Link to gov website announcement: "Ban on puberty blockers to be made indefinite on experts’ advice"
The ban is justified due to 1) "The expert group said prescribing the drugs to children for gender dysphoria was an "unacceptable safety risk" and 2)"a lack of evidence around treatment for under-18s with puberty-blocking drugs."
