+ people in Scotland has called on the Sandyford clinic to reverse its decision to pause the prescription of puberty blockers to under-18s.
Dr Hilary Cass, who conducted the review, said there was a lack of high-quality research into the use of puberty blockers and concluded that children had been let down by the “toxic” nature of discussions regarding transgender identities in the UK.She called on NHS England to pause the prescription of endocrine treatment and encouraged more trials to be conducted into the use of such treatment.
A statement from the charity’s Trans Rights Youth Commission said: “As a youth commission we are hurt, frustrated, disappointed, and scared, but the first and foremost feeling is anger. We are angry. “Our identity is put under unnecessary scrutiny by a team of strangers who try to decide if we are truly who we say we are when we are just trying to live our lives and access healthcare that makes us happy and comfortable in our bodies, healthcare that saves lives.“Being transgender, especially in such a negative political climate, can have severe negative impacts on one’s mental health and accessing gender-affirming treatment can and has saved lives.
“Gender affirming care should be about respect for bodily autonomy and it should be about helping people reach their potential and to feel comfortable and safe in their own body. This move is not about that.
