Children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, NHS England has confirmed.

The government said it welcomed the “landmark decision”, adding it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the “best interests of the child”.

The NHS England policy document, published on Tuesday, said: “We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of (puberty blockers) to make the treatment routinely available at this time.”

I was being sarcastic. You can't give an adult puberty blockers.

You can give a kid puberty blockers before they go through puberty.

And yes, kids that young can know their gender identity. Such as my daughter's 13-year-old best friend.

My one nephew thought he was supposed to be a girl for a year straight when he was 13 to the point doctor were concerned.

Why were doctors concerned? There would be no reason for them to be concerned since that isn't a physical health issue. I smell bullshit.

And my cousin who recently started feeling like a guy after her long ftm transition, he is 28 now, he says she knew at 13 that “she didn’t feel like a she and should be a he”.

Two stories of "ex-trans" people in your family? Yep. Definitely bullshit.

So should I let my nephew delay his puberty

No, because he's your nephew and not your son so it isn't up to you.

I don’t know, I think solution is to be accepting of people who want to change as adults and leave the kids alone.

"More than 50% of trans and non-binary youth in US considered suicide this year, survey says"

Your attitude is literally killing children. Looking forward to you defending it with more bullshit stories.

The second story is about a trans person, not an "ex-trans" person.
