The NHS England has revealed new restrictions for the prescription of puberty blockers.  On 9 June, the publically funded health service announced that it will no longer give hormone-blocking medicine to trans youth attending gender clinics.  “Outside of a research setting, puberty–suppressing hormones should not be routinely commissioned for children and adolescents who have gender incongruence/dysphoria,” the NHS said regarding its new “interim policy.”  Instead, puberty blockers will only be made available to children who take part in clinical trials or under specific circumstances – including those who had a…

Texas governor Greg Abbott signs bill banning gender-affirming care for trans youth

admin, , , ,

Texas has become the 18th state to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth. Over the last few years, the state’s Republican governor Greg Abbott and his political allies have made it their mission to attack the rights of trans people.  Back in February 2022, Attorney General Ken Paxton released an official opinion denouncing gender-affirming care. He also said that the life-saving treatments should be considered “child abuse”. Shortly after his harmful statement, Abbott released his own transphobic letter – which ordered the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS)…
