A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?
Trans activists' claims that the puberty blocker ban will increase child suicides are unfounded and dangerous, an independent review has found.
A ban on puberty blockers brought in by the Tories before the election could be made permanent as the Labour Party takes a harder stance on transgender issues.
An ex-NHS psychologist, accused of prescribing puberty blockers to a girl who liked Thomas The Tank Engine, has launched a new gender clinic for children.
Now that puberty blockers have been banned, it's time to ban Covid vaccines for children too, and for the same reason – because they do more harm than good and the evidence of benefit isn't there, says Mike Fairclough.
Puberty blockers in children were always an unregulated live experiment based on no evidence, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson. The NHS is right to ban them.
