From the linked article:
More than a hundred children as young as ten years old will be subjected to clinical trials of transgender drugs in Britain, despite the government blocking puberty blockers for general use.
Last year, a review from leading paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass found that transgender medical practices were “built on shaky foundations” and that Britain’s socialised healthcare system should not hand out puberty-blocking drugs to minors over safety concerns. The left-wing Labour Party government agreed and barred the practice for children.
However, the Cass review also left the door open for further medical trials to be conducted, paving the way for an upcoming study of 250 supposedly transgender children between 10 and 15 years old after receiving regulatory approval this week.
Over half of the children will be provided with drugs for up to two years to suppress their natural development, like periods, breasts or facial hair. Their brain development and other indicators of health will then be monitored and compared with those of the children who did not take the drugs in their early adulthood.
The King’s College team claimed that the study was necessary to provide allegedly trans children with the “information that they need to make informed choices about their care”.
The study’s leader, Professor Emily Simonoff, noted that parents will need to provide consent throughout the study.
However, she acknowledged that the study could have long-term negative impacts on the children involved, including potential impacts to their fertility, mental development, and bone structure.
