Several countries, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, Luxembourg, Finland, Denmark, and Belgium, have prohibited sex reassignment surgeries for children, marking a significant policy shift. This move has been hailed as a victory for evidence-based medicine, medical ethics, and the principle of acting in the best interests of the child, addressing concerns such as the phenomenon of "transing away the gay" and irreversible treatment. Critics argue that experimental drugs and hormonal treatments were administered to children without proper consent and adequate evidence of safety or long-term benefits, causing considerable harm. The UK's decision to discontinue experimental, mind-altering hormonal treatments in young, developing minds reflects growing concerns over the lack of long-term evidence on the outcomes of such treatments, as highlighted by the NHS gender clinic's failure to track outcomes, and the potential for irreversible harm, including sterilizing children.
Yet another country realizes how horrible sterilizing children is. When will the US do the same? https://t.co/JVbHFcQuIZ
“…there was a lack of long-term evidence on what happens to young people prescribed blockers - GIDS had not gathered routine and consistent data, meaning it was not possible to accurately track the outcomes…” It’s a massive poorly run experiment on children. UK is ending it. https://t.co/VAAvUSeIhP
This is from 3 years ago. UK has finally acted. Australia hasn’t even had a review. ‘Children have been very seriously damaged’ by NHS gender clinic, says former Tavistock staff governor https://t.co/EtpZWS8Ada

The tide is turning. Experimental, mind-altering hormonal treatments in young, developing minds without proper consent will be discontinued in England. So much damage has been done with no remediation. Hopefully, further steps will be taken to make amends. https://t.co/qoFimsJeTn
A victory for sanity. Let's hope that other countries in the West, including ours, put a stop to this irreversible treatment on children whose brains have not completely formed yet. https://t.co/VtHjXGx53t
A major victory for evidence based medicine & the principle of acting in the best interests of the child. This should also put an end to the phenomenon of “transing away the gay” to satisfy the new homophobia. I hope that Scotland will follow England’s lead. https://t.co/o57gIjIv2E
Fantastic news. Experimental drugs with huge harms should never have been given to children in the first place. Finally common sense, scientific fact and medical ethics have triumphed. https://t.co/swOWzzYZ54
The United Kingdom, Sweden, Luxembourg, Finland, Denmark, and Belgium have all prohibited sex reassignment surgeries for children. Other countries are proving themselves wiser than America. https://t.co/c98kZNTROd
