Puberty blockers are child abuse. The do not delay puberty. They suppress it. The body doesn't pick up from before they started taking the drugs. Instead, that development just never happens. And it's not just physical features like size and hair growth... they lose easily 20+ points in IQ. One day people will look back on society and see this shit as an abomination even worse than slavery.

One day, but there's still more time for things to get worse.
I fully expect adults raised on puberty blockers to be the biggest porn stars of the near future. It'll be the "She's really a 10,000 year-old dragon" meme in real life.
Slavery isnt inherently evil in itself, but the matter of making slaves either through kidnapping or the abuse of justice absolutely is. But there are *zero* cases where genital mutilation would be justifiable. (And I dont count amputations due to infection that could put the rest of the body at risk as mutilation, especially since that generally doesnt happen)
As much as I agree with this particular decision, government needs to stay the hell out of healthcare decisions.
>Announcing the indefinite ban, Streeting said: "It is a scandal that medicine was given to vulnerable children without the proof that it was safe or effective."
So, if it *was* "safe and effective", the government would go right back to pushing it onto kids?
>But he added that the planned clinical trial by NHS England into the use of puberty blockers would go ahead.
Oh, look at that: a government "study" aiming to do just that.
>The ban would then be reviewed in 2027, he said, in the light of any new evidence that emerged.
Giving the activists two years to cry "discrimination" and make themselves look like victims, drawing in even more dumb kids and families.
The best thing governments can do here is say "this is not a recognized medical procedure, we aren't paying for it, you can if you can find a doctor". That means it's not actively pushed in public schools, not subsidized, and the only people doing it are creepy weirdos that have to fund it themselves, like what was happening before this bizarre ideological push began.
You can say it's child abuse, and you may be right, but plenty of people think not getting childhood vaccines or refusing blood transfusions is child abuse as well. I consider it to be up to the parents, not the government.
Here's a thought experiment to try on those who view puberty blockers as a good thing: ask them if it would be good to give them to pets. Who wouldn't want a puppy or kitten for 10 years? So small and playful. Or how about that baby hippo that was making the rounds this year? Give it blockers so it's adorable for it's whole life. If they balk at the notion, saying it's animal abuse, then ask them what makes it different when they're given to human children
