Puberty blockers for under-18s with gender dysphoria will be banned indefinitely across the UK except for use in clinical trials, the government has announced.
Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said that after receiving advice from medical experts, he would make existing emergency measures banning the sale and supply of puberty blockers indefinite.
The Department of Health and Social Care said the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) had published independent expert advice that there was “currently an unacceptable safety risk in the continued prescription of puberty blockers to children”.

How is denying scientifically proven medical care “common sense”?
Because kids under the age of 18 shouldn’t be allowed to use these types of medications. I just don’t think we’re fully aware of the consequences at that age. I mean, I did a ton of stupid shit when I was a kid… didn’t we all? I look back and think, WTF was I thinking?
EDIT: my comment that was removed literally said “common sense”. Y’all getting worse than Reddit…
Are the unknown consequences more or less severe than depression, self-harm, and suicide?
