ildren in time and expect no consequences. Effectively, UK health secretary Wes Streeting has banned puberty blockers with one hand and reintroduced them with the other – dressing up the same failed experiment as ‘research’.
A puberty blocker trial, as I understand it, was recommended by Hilary Cass as part of her review. It was a mistake. We don't need more evidence about the effects of powerful drugs – as used to chemically castrate sex offenders – on confused young children. It would be a horror show: like taking a group of "gender dysphoric" young girls, giving half of them double mastectomies, and see which group – the mutilated or the unmutilated – feels better afterwards. It's contrary to every medical ethic.
This is not a healthcare model. It’s dystopian. It tramples over ethics, evidence and common sense, echoing the darkest chapters of medical history, when vulnerable people were used as guinea pigs in experiments dressed up as ‘care’….
Let the tomboys be. Let the feminine boys wave their fairy wands and find their own path. Let kids be weird and wild. That’s childhood.
Puberty is not an error to be corrected. It’s the bridge between who we were and who we’re becoming. Blocking it doesn’t hit pause. It derails the individual onto a pathway of lifelong medicalisation.
