Wales is latest UK nation to pause puberty blockers for under-18s

1. Next up they’ll be ‘revisiting’ gay marriage, reopening conversations about who should be let in the army, and making noises around shortening abortion terms.

   Slippery slope.

   The transes are just the tip of what culture warriors want to bring down.

   It’s back to 90s political talking points everyone! Society never progresses, we just endlessly reopen the same debates forever and ever and ever,

2. Almost like we should actually follow up and gather data thoroughly when performing untested therapies on literal children, who’d have thought.

   Here’s a simple question for all the child transition advocates, if the data is so amazing why have 6/7 of the gender clinics refused to share their data for the analysis? And why did the one that did share it have to do so under compulsion?

   Here’s my thoughts, it’s because they *haven’t* been tracking patient outcomes and have been running this like a gold rush fly by night cowboy operation.

3. It’s interesting that Cass complains about misinformation from people criticising her report, but apparently doesn’t have a thing to say about the fact that the report never suggested outright banning puberty blockers when this has been the main material consequence of it.

4. >Pausing puberty blockers for under-18s

   Which basically covers almost everyone who would be in need of them anyway.

5. Culture war nonsense. How many kids are affected? There are less than 100 in the UK total, in Wales it might not even be 10 children.

   But we are not discussing the fact that Wales has some of the most impoverished areas in Europe, we are not discussing the health service, the state of infrastructure and most importantly we are not discussing independence from Westminster.

   Don’t let this culture war nonsense distract you from the generational failings of Westminster to look at the best interests of Wales be it Labour or Conversative governments.

6. Sounds sensible , PAUSE, understand and move forward with a new framework.
