The UK's ban on puberty blockers includes an exemption for every use other than gender dysphoria — i.e. cis kids will continue to get them with no outcry about side effects or medical evidence.
It's clear what this is really about.

Cass admitted in an interview that banning blockers is about forcing trans kids to be cis.

Has anyone put together a data set comparing the number of children getting medical treatments for things other than gender dysphoria with those getting the same treatments for gender dysphoria? I'm especially thinking cosmetic procedures of all kinds.

Makes me wonder if you could gaslight pharmacies or do a wink wink nudge nudge with the doctor, say you're whatever gender you want to be but your body is having issues with producing those hormones. Could be a possible work around, even if its shotty

A number of my pediatric kidney patients are on long term corticosteroids & not one NYT columnist or OpEd writer has bemoaned the possible loss of *my* patients' bone density.
But the bone density of trans kids needs to be a national conversation?

It’s like how the hundreds of anti-trans bills banning gender-affirming care for minors also include exceptions for intersex people this isn’t about protecting kids, it’s enforcing their narrow, biologically determinist ideas of what is “natural” (which wouldn’t need laws if it was, but nvm!)

I can’t help but think that the discrimination is just to preserve gender as a form of societal control

So gender affirming care Is fine as long as you are cis? But I thought they had issues with the drugs, with the doctors, with the processes, with the age? No? It's just intentionally being shitty ONLY to a specific group? Fancy that.

Also, emergency ?? what is the emergency? Is the emergency that they are about to leave office? "We want to make sure things are solidly fucked before we pack up"?

because they’re very safe and well tolerated medications for many issues, including gender dysphoria this isn’t about protecting children at all

"a full impact assessment would not be undertaken (because) these Regulations are not expected to have a significant impact on the public" - at least, not the public the Government care about.
