Proposed ban on puberty blockers ignites BLAZING ROW as Dr Hilary Cass attacks 'misinformation' 

If the report was about mobile phones and tablets then this comment would also work.

​@blueroyals71 Rocks too.

Puberty blockers do nothing at all to bodies apart from to delay puberty that's it.

​@@blueroyals71how? What child is handed a mobile phone without parental oversight? Phones also dont cause permanent damage if used correctly.

Are we for real discussing about what is good parenting? I'm sorry, love is more deeper that that. Parents know best, but some of them do not. It doesn't mean everybody needs to avoid hard medical decision on childrens with proibitionism. There are enough people that enjoy puberty blockers.

But they demand a mass debate!

@@BadDriversOzThey can demand all they want but if this is an untested medical treatment then it should never have be prescribed in the first place. That should never be something that is up for debate.

@@psibug565 LOL! Whoosh!

They are idiots, bet not one of them have read any of it!

We doctors make recommendations, based in science. The patient is free to follow them or not, under their own responsibility.BUT we cannot be forced to make prescriptions without scientific endorsement.

You're right. It's same drug. I just googled it. Leuprolide acetate. They are chemically castrating children.

Yes.

Amongst other things Leuprolide acetate is used as a puberty blocker. It is also used for the chemical castration of sex offenders. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_castration#Treatment_for_sex_offenders en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puberty_blocker#Available_forms

Yes!

Yup.

Notice how, this past 15 years the word 'kid' has replaced 'child/children'. Being 56, one always knew what a CHILD was - it didn't need explanation - but 'kid' is much less emotive, and could be used to describe a 25 year old. Is this deliberate ? Are the 'progressives' trying their best to phase out the word child in the name of some perverse form of DEI !? Children need PROTECTION, in the way that 'kids' might not.

loads still do and loads are still attacked for it because regardless of age its them just being trans that people have a problem with

That is microscopic portion of the population. Let's focus on the needs of the many.

​@cuppahorror WRONG. It's abusing children that people have a problem with. As a adult with a fully-formed brain, and the full knowledge and understanding it contains, you can do whatever the feck you like. So long as you're not hurting anybody then live and let live. You're only a victim if you wish to be a victim.

@@wendydonnelly1881"WRONG" but ok ✌🏻

​@cuppahorror not liking a trans adult because they are insufferable is not the same as being attacked for being trans.

This is no surprise if you know the history of the GIDS clinic. It came into the trust on the Portman Clinic side, which deals with sax offenders.

Tell 'em te go stoof a haggis!

It's not the general public in Scotland that are responsible for this, it's those in power although hopefully the tide is really turning and they won't be in power for much longer!

The Lib-dems once received a £100,000 donation from one of the drug companies,so we know where their morals stand

exactly, follow the money.

A chief deviant if there was ever one. He came out as bi. With his looks, better widen his options.

Interesting that's what you focused on. MAP?

@@floydisnutz8443 MAP?! Interesting that is what YOU are focused on. What a bizarre non-sequitur.

this is how it is in some places and people still have a problem with adults transitioning

Marxists and islamists in disguise, trying to scam people.

Green = Mad

@@ericlackford6718 Mad red!

Watch OUT for the Palec-ucks!

Children/People who are born with physical disabilities, have to learn to live with them, so should these.

First of all, trans is not LGB. Second, you may believe there is such a thing as a trans child, or unicorns, that doesn’t make it real. A trans child is like a vegan cat, it’s the adults making that determination, not the child. And hurting and killing people is against the law. What does not supporting lying to children by telling them they were born in the wrong body (what a ghastly idea and nonsense concept) or the lie that a boy can be made into a girl, or vice versa, or not supporting giving puberty blockers to children, have to do at all with you thinking people like or don’t like gay or lesbian people ? Again, not even remotely connected. And why are you so insistent on children having sex lives and deciding if they are gay or not when they haven’t even gone through puberty yet? Are you seeking sexual partners amongst children ?

My reply to you disappeared. Here’s a briefer answer that might survive the censorship. 1. Trans is not LGB. 2. A trans child is like a vegan cat, it’s the adults making the determination. 3. What does not supporting given puberty blockers to children have to do with you thinking people like or don’t like gay or lesbian people ? Again, very different things.
