Several prominent figures and lawmakers are voicing concerns over the use of puberty blockers and gender transition surgeries for minors. Suella Braverman highlighted the regret some parents in Fareham have expressed over their children being placed on puberty blockers, emphasizing child safeguarding. Representative Mary Miller questioned why the Biden administration is ignoring European studies that are reversing the push for puberty blockers, accusing Biden of putting radical politics ahead of children's health. Representative Brett Guthrie, along with his colleagues, pressed HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on the evidence supporting these medical practices, stressing the need to protect children from irreversible harm. Meanwhile, South Carolina has taken legislative action to ban gender transition care for minors. Critics argue that providing such interventions violates the Hippocratic oath.
Like top experts in many Western European countries, including the UK, I have serious reservations about the evidence base undergirding sexual reassignment surgeries or hormonal therapies for minors. Providing interventions that harm patients violates the Hippocratic oath. It… https://t.co/x9kg09Phxo

European countries are reversing course on pushing puberty blockers on kids, which is child abuse. I pressed Biden's Secretary of Health on why the US is ignoring the studies coming out of Europe. Biden is putting radical politics ahead of the health & well-being of children. https://t.co/bIew1nOhQd
Countries are starting to ban child mutilation and puberty blockers. That’s great, but that’s not enough. I want the people who made this an acceptable practice to be outed and held accountable. How many kids have had their lives destroyed by these people? How much money…
This is very welcome. I’ve met parents in Fareham whose children were put on puberty blockers, regretting it years later. Children must not be placed on puberty blockers as a way of treating gender dysphoria. Child safeguarding must always come first, not gender ideology. https://t.co/8u7LAJAVrc
