The High Court of England and Wales has affirmed the legality of a ban on puberty blockers for children under 18, initially introduced by the previous Tory government and potentially to be made permanent under the current Labour government.

The measure was passed in May and went into effect in June using emergency legislation following the release of the Cass Review commissioned by the National Health Service in 2020 amid an exponential rise in children being referred to gender clinics.

In light of the review, the NHS also instructed gender clinics to pause all first appointments for those younger than 18 suffering from gender dysphoria. Private prescribers are prohibited from prescribing puberty blockers to minors outside of clinical trial settings.

Won't happen here as long as Biden remains in office.
IMO, this ain't gonna happen in America until after the progressive left-wing liberals of the Democratic Party no longer have nearly as much political power as they currently have.
