Regaining Courage and Curiosity

Any topic that is off limits to questioning becomes a space in which aversion to naming risk can become a fertile ground for harm or exploitation. If there is fear in putting our skills into practice, all the more reason to ask - turning away is the worst thing to do.

The Pathways Puberty Blocker Trial in England – What We Already Know About Puberty Blockers and Why This Trial in Unethical

The Cass Review also recommended a follow up to the 2000 children already prescribed puberty blockers through GIDS in England since 2014: There was no long-term follow up of the health outcomes for these children who will now be young adults. We still don’t have this data and my view is that it would be unethical to give these drugs to more children when we have limited information about the long term affects of their use.
