Some good news!
I've read elsewhere that children as young as 10 years are to be part of the trial. This is unconscionable. Children of that age do not know their minds let alone being sure enough to take puberty blockers which we already know have massive risks attached to them. Even if you accept that a child might be happier if treated as being the other sex, giving them these type of drugs which will inevitably have some negative consequences from such a young age is criminal.Can't believe they're going ahead with this, I would seriously question as well will they get accurate information on social and emotional wellbeing given there are massive incentives for those in the trial to lie, so they will be able to continue receiving the drugs and also so that others will continue to get the drugs in the future. Also the first results are expected within 4 years but we know that it takes longer than that for bone problems etc to manifest

In Scotland trans women (AKA men) qualify for laser hair removal on the NHS. Real women do notA few years back, my previous work announced to great fanfare that our medical insurance would now cover all aspects of “transition” (whatever that is)- hormones, surgery, counselling, electrolysis and all.
Can’t begin to describe how furious I was as this happened a couple of weeks after I’d received a letter from those same insurers saying that no, the policy did not cover any speciality care related to menopause because it “is not a medical issue”. So if I wanted to see a menopause specialist, I was more than welcome to pay for it, presumably while they used my premiums to pay for Veronica-formerly-Mark‘s electrolysis so the sight of his hairy gams in his tights didn’t ruin his wanks.
Me, bitter? No, why do you ask?
I recently saw a post on Xitter from Dr P. where she says:
and transgender adults are twice as likely to be unemployed as cisgender adults.The London Assembly has agreed a motion. How tedious 🥱

In my line of work I see (sadly, all too often), a number of babies and children who are either suffering addiction withdrawal (you can never erase the sound of a newborn birthed by a heroin addicted motherWe've seen articles about how babies are absorbing testosterone from their fathers simply by laying on their chests if they take testosterone for athletic/gym gains; I dread to think what testosterone use is doing to babies in the womb... surely there's risk of them developing abnormalities? Those poor babies.
I’ve very suspicious about this. I work in research funding and it’s extremely difficult to secure funding for clinical trials and even harder to get anything relating to children past ethics committees. I’m going to look into who is funding this and write to the funder to complain. This is a flawed and biased study. It’s like testing to see if asbestos is dangerous and actively recruiting people onto the study *after finding out it causes cancer.Can't believe they're going ahead with this, I would seriously question as well will they get accurate information on social and emotional wellbeing given there are massive incentives for those in the trial to lie, so they will be able to continue receiving the drugs and also so that others will continue to get the drugs in the future.
