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’m not qualified but I know when I don’t know everything and can smell bullshit from people underplaying a serious aspect.
The first step to knowledge is realising you don’t know anything as they say. As i said, i used to work for nhs and my parent comes from a medical background. To say anything they deal with is simple or easy to understand is laughable.
“I know when I don’t know everything but I know this is bullshit” is not an especially scientific attitude when approaching a scientific subject.
I lack the words to sift out emotional responses.
Is the meaning of my words truly lost?
I would say declaring something to be bullshit without evidence and while admitting it is not your area would be the emotional response here.
Then my point has indeed been missed. Feel free to discard it as it hasn’t come across as intended.
