   Call off puberty blocker trial or face legal action, NHS warned.

   Campaigners say children in study would be ‘treated worse than guinea pigs’ because drugs’ harms are well known.

   An “unethical” NHS puberty blocker trial has been threatened with legal action by campaigners.

   Lawyers acting for Keira Bell, a former patient of the Tavistock Clinic, which was shut down amid controversy over its gender identity treatment for children, say the planned trial is “unethical and unlawful”.

   Ms Bell, a biological woman who was given puberty blockers and had surgery to become a trans man, regretted the decision and has now “de-transitioned”.

   The drugs are indefinitely banned in the UK after Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, extended a temporary ban imposed by the previous government.

   But under current plans, children and teenagers with gender dysphoria or confusion will still be able to access them as part of an upcoming NHS clinical trial.

     @HebrideanHecate Can we all stop pretending that this is a thing that needs a clinical trial?
     It's a drug used off licence on a disturbed internet-addled generation for a disease that only exists to make money for big pharma so that cross dressing men will feel better about their sexual fetish and virtue signallers can post stupid tweets.

     @HebrideanHecate @KeepTakingTheSoma Josef Rudolf Mengele would be impressed with our ‘care’ if he were around. 😕😞
