England's National Health Service said there is 'not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness' of puberty blockers.
England’s National Health Service said children with gender dysphoria will no longer be routinely prescribed puberty blockers as treatment, citing limited short and long-term data about their effects. The NHS said in a clinical policy report released Tuesday it has 'concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of PSH to make the treatment routinely available at this time.
said nine observational studies were included in its evidence review. Oli London, a detransitioner who underwent more than 30 surgeries over the course of 10 years, told 'The Story' Wednesday that the NHS’ decision was about having 'some common sense.' 'We have to realize that pushing hormones and puberty blockers and, you know, encouraging children to change who they are, that is not right. That is not fair for children,' he said.
