Smorty, in Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England says

Why? They say that this is some kind of test, WHY!? This is the worst news you can get as a young trans person, this is awful!

Well, let’s see the suicide qutoes hit an all time high in England I guess… I am genuinely sorry for the people in England which have to deal with this awful healthcare system…

Ye England isn’t a great place for trans youth rn

Do you want dead kids? Because this is how you get dead kids.

Yes. I 100% believe that is exactly the outcome they are hoping for and I challenge anyone to provide evidence to the contrary.

Obonga, in Children to stop getting puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, says NHS England

Whats their fucking deal? Puberty blockers rule.

(yeah i know, it is transphobia)

I wish we could all have taken puberty blockers safely. That shit comes way to early and in the middle of school. My plan: Finish school-> hitting puberty while doing pretty much nothing but coping with that -> getting job-education. Maybe this way less people would end up in jobs they utterly despise.

It’s always “for the best interest of children” first. Then they take it away from everyone else, too. They aren’t even hiding what they’re up to.

Never forget:

For conservatives every dead (trans-)child is not a tragedy, but a victory and the entire point.

Varyk, in Children to stop getting puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, says NHS England

Uhhhh “routine prescription” of less than a hundred children in a population of 60 million?

That “routine prescription” refers to .0001 percent of the population?

So not routine but in fact extremely rare and specialized.

Not enough evidence to support clinic efficacy? What the fuck are they smoking?

The drugs have been used for a long time, successfully, in delaying puberty. That’s clinical efficacy. That’s why they’re bloody used for this.

Fucking idiots

MossMonger, in Children to stop getting puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, says NHS England

ah yes. keeping trans kids safe by making them more suicidal. That’ll work! (sarcasm)

They don’t even pretend their goal is about protecting trans kids. The lie is that it’s protecting cis kids…

“You know what could really be good for transgender youth? Let’s stop them from taking proven medical treatments that we have been giving to children with precocious puberty for the last 70 years! Lets make their lives worse and push them towards the very things they say make them feel depressed and suicidal!”

I hate the way the article says “children”. No, not just any child but trans children. Are cis kids still able to get them for precocious puberty? Then what the fuck danger are they talking about? And look at them casually throwing out Maya fucking Forstater quotes as if shes just some random woman whos totally not a very vocal public face of transphobia 🙃 fuck the guardian.

Providing transphobes with more fuel for their hate (the only "evidence" I have found to back this bullshit is that puberty blockers "don't significantly impact suicidal thoughts and dysphoria", but why would they on their own? It's only wilfully ignorant people who equate them to transitioning, when they're nothing of the fucking sort), while depriving children of the healthcare they need - two birds with one stone for the the fascist government hiding behind "medical concerns" for people they would clearly rather see dead.

I hate it here more and more every passing day.

And just like that, teen suicide rates are going to see an uptick.

FFS England.

This is how you get parents who really care about their trans children to go on the black market for drugs. Fucking rage inducing.

SayJess,
@SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Absolutely, but that’s the point of it all. Anytime the right is “thinking about the children”, they are talking about straight white Christian children. All others be damned.

Chances are they’ve never even seen a trans person struggling. Or at least they don’t care about them.
