Children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, NHS England has confirmed.

The government said it welcomed the “landmark decision”, adding it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the “best interests of the child”.

The NHS England policy document, published on Tuesday, said: “We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of (puberty blockers) to make the treatment routinely available at this time.”

    thought out opinion

    Bwahahahah thanks for the laughs.

    Google what puberty blockers are

    They don’t permanently “mess” with anything. Taking puberty blockers is just delaying the onset of a puberty one might not want to go through. They only work as long as you’re on them and you can’t keep taking them for the rest of your life.

    So it’s literally just delaying a decision until the child is old enough to make it. There’s nothing irreversible or permanent about it.

    “thought out opinion” “not in line with thr teachings” you sound worse than a flat-Earther ruahahahahhshah
