Critics have raised the alarm over a loophole in the Government’s new puberty blockers ban, warning it could enable scientists to use children as test subjects for “harmful” gender drugs. The Mail has the story.
A mother whose son said he was transgender and was given hormones to become a woman, a former Tavistock and Portman trust doctor and the Family Education Trust have all spoken out against Labour’s plan.
On Wednesday, Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced an indefinite ban on puberty blockers for children after the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) said they presented “an unacceptable safety risk for children and young people under 18 years without significant additional safeguards”.
However, this is not a blanket ban. Despite acknowledging there will be some who oppose it, Streeting said plans for a clinical trial would go ahead, meaning children can sign up to have puberty blockers for research purposes.
After the Health Secretary’s announcement, the Government said the CHM recommended that “the planned puberty suppressing hormone trial will recruit children and young people under 18 years who have not had previous exposure to GnRH agonists [another term for puberty blockers]”.
The Government concluded that while “there is evidence of persistent unsafe prescribing practices regarding these medicines”, a clinical trial would offer a chance to safely monitor the effects of puberty blockers and “give government and the NHS the evidence needed to decide whether they can be used as a safe and effective treatment”.
Jane – not her real name – spoke to MailOnline on the condition of anonymity because she fears her son, now 20, might cut her out of his life if he knew how she truly felt. She said the loophole amounted to using children as guinea pigs.
She said: “It’s all making the right noises while not doing very much. Haven’t enough children already been damaged, lives ruined? Do they really need that further evidence?” …
Even with the ban, children are already getting advice on getting around it.
On its website, sexual health charity Brook has already advised that young people can still get puberty blockers “if they agree to be part of a research study that will assess the risks and benefits of these medicines for trans and gender questioning children”.

How in the world can something which does this ever be deemed ”safe and effective”? Nobody should be messing around with kids going through an essential biological/physiological process;
‘Puberty blockers were developed for end-stage prostate cancer and are used to chemically castrate sex offenders. Side effects include bone density loss, impacted fertility and lowered IQ. Despite this, they were widely prescribed to children off-label.’
This sick in the head trans individual ( MtF, surprise, surprise! ) is wanting to harm children by blatantly lying. When we pander to these people all we’re doing is affirming mental illness, nothing else;

People making statements like
Do not endure the puberty he and the anti-choice movement want you to have.
ought to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. What this entity does with its own body is its own business provided it pays for that by itself. Nobody wants to deny anyone such choices. But puberty is not a choice. It’s developmental stage of the human body during which it becomes sexually mature. That’s not a disease and the NHS should most certainly not even bother to consider suppressing it by lifelong medication.
Disgusting, revolting.
I can understand that in politicians because in order to climb the greasy pole they have to be psychopaths, but these mid level people are just, just… words fail me.
Children wouldn’t be questioning their inventend genders if the adults who invented them for this purpose weren’t pushing them towards doing this. And the Mail is complicit in this by publishing statements like
A mother whose son said he was transgender and was given hormones to become a woman
because forcing the body of this young men to develop in an unnatural way by poisoning it with hormones alien to it will never cause him to become a biologically functioning woman.
A man cannot become a woman.
A woman cannot become a man.
People who claim otherwise are either insane or psychopaths.
Charity?
Health?
‘Critics have raised the alarm…warning it could enable scientists to use children as test subjects for “harmful” gender drugs‘
Warning it could enable scientists to use children as test subjects…, hopefully it won’t be possible, practically or ethically.
Moderna was doing it in the US with its mRNA RSV ‘vaccine’ with children less than year old. Forced to stop as it gave many children severe cases of RSV. Seems that giving them doses of vitamin D solves improves their resistance to RSV, but then like Ivermectin, that doesn’t make any big profits.
What happened to First Do No Harm?
Experimenting on humans, particularly immature humans going through the natural developmental stage of life, is unethnical.
That seems to have become more like “First, consider what harm you can inflict”.
Its now, The Hypocritical Oath.
Ethics no longer exists in certain area’s of so-called healthcare – should be renamed to Healthcareless.
There has been so much time and money thrown at this gender bending crazy. How many children are involved in this NEED for gender change via drugs? Less than 100, less than 50, more than 1.000. Good to see so much ones being thrown at this crazy.good to know where are taxes are going
