Horrific. Simplify horrific. Streeting and Starmer will have to take responsibility for the increase in violence against trans people. They have literally thrown petrol on the bonfire of hate.

Children with Downs syndrome are being stuffed with Human Growth Hormone, Testosterone and Oestrogen to optimise their growth and pubertal development. To my knowledge these interventions have never been subjected to clinical trials but Puberty Blockers are unevidenced and unsafe? I don’t think so.

And no I don’t think that desistance is a positive outcome. Not my assumption. Once again that is your bigotry not mine. Neither do I think delaying gender affirming care is a positive outcome. Your bigotry not mine. You really should think before you post garbage attacking other people.

Except I never said any of the things you attribute to me. Before you go around lynching people with your own bigotry you should read more carefully. I said the trial has been designed to achieve a negative outcome ie that puberty blockers are ineffective. At no point did I say this was desirable.

It seems to me the purpose of the trial is to demonstrate a negative outcome ie that trans children allocated to the delayed treatment group are more likely to desist and that there are no benefits to early gender affirming care. I have not seen the study protocols so difficult to comment.

This is quite simply a license for bigotry and rank discrimination and all women will be affected. If this is their guidance it won’t survive a legal challenge and it simply seeks to encode the terf bigotry. They are turning the clock back 50 years.
