from Transgender TrendWe are disappointed that the judge has refused permission for a full judicial review of the controversial puberty blocker trial. Children as young as 11 will have their critical growth at puberty stopped for two years, introducing medical harm to previously healthy bodies. We believe the results of the trial in its current design would almost certainly have been rejected by the Cass Review as low quality evidence. This trial introduces a new low safety bar and sets a worrying precedent for the protection of children in future medical trials. If this trial is considered compatible with international standards, any medical trial with equally low safety standards can be justified.
