The UK has banned the use of puberty blockers on minors “dealing with transgenderism,” on the grounds that there is not enough “evidence on the procedure’s safety or clinical effectiveness.”
J.K. Rowling, who has herself been victim of abuse for speaking out against the most aggressive elements of the trans lobby, discussed the vulnerability of children and how they are being used by the system. Despite this ban, UK children will be used as lab rats:
The hormones will be only available for children with gender dysphoria through clinical trials intended to fill gaps in medical knowledge, though provision is expected to be made in exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
In America, puberty blockers continue to be allowed by the Food and Drug Administration, and thousands of kids are taking these risky drugs, with many more lined up for them, even against the wishes of parents in many cases. They are referred to by some in the woke system as “estranged parents.”
At least 121,882 children ages 6 to 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria from 2017 through 2021.
In America, puberty blockers along with gender transitioning for kids is supported “at the highest levels” of the Biden administration, with psychological and physical risks dismissed.
“J.K. Rowling Shreds Puberty Blockers After U.K. Ban: ‘Well-Funded Lobbying Groups Drunk on Their Own Power,’” by Paul Bois, Breitbart, March 18, 2024:
J.K. Rowling ripped into the activists who pushed puberty blockers after the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) banned their use on minors dealing with transgenderism.
NHS England based its decision to ban puberty blockers for children this week on there not being enough evidence on the procedure’s safety or clinical effectiveness. The U.K. government also endorsed the “landmark decision,” hailing at as being in the “best interests of children.” NHS England proposed a ban on the procedure last June and issued the definitive decision following a review from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Author J.K. Rowling, who has been an outspoken critic of transgender radicalism since 2020, celebrated the decision on social media and called out the activists who pushed this on children.
“How was this allowed in the first place… no words,” one user on X said in reply to her post highlighting the policy change.
“Well-funded lobbying groups drunk on their own power, politicians closing their eyes rather than suffer social media pushback, idiot celeb cheerleaders who’re about to go very quiet, pharmaceutical companies chasing profit, medics who abandoned ethics and should be in the dock,” she replied….One self-identified ‘de-transitioner’ said, ‘It breaks my heart it was allowed to go on for so long. The damage done is untold, and the number of detransitioners who have broke down in pain to me will live with me forever.’”

SAFETY concerns!?
Let’s be blunt … minors have ZERO idea of what it is that they’re doing!
As for estranged parents: it’s the cross-GENDERS
who are estranged … from REALITY!

One for islamic scholars…
Is allah a Trans god.He seems a bit confused
“And verily WE gave unto Moses the scripture..”
Koran 2 :87
WE?or is it They/Them?
allah is confused about Abraham..
I’m pretty sure Abraham,the key figure of the JEWISH belief system was a JEW because “salvation comes from the Jews” {John 4:22}so the Biblical Prophets HAVE TO BE connected with the Jews and besides Abraham is listed in the Genealogy of Jesus Christ{} the religious JEW Matthew 1.1
i’m pretty sure Abraham was a Jew.All evidence supports that.
But not in allah’s prefect bok -the hooley kooran.A book muslims say has no mistakes in it.
“Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian” boasts allah unhelpfully in koran 3:67
Really?The key figure of the Jewish belief syatem was not a Jew.But then allah insists christians worship THREE gods{muslim jesus,allah and…MARY}koran 5:116 pickthall, the moon split in two and someday your body parts will speak against you on allah’s judgement day when you stand before allah’s ONE FOOT and hope your face is not black{koran 3:106}
Phil Copson says
Every one of these “gender-Mengeles” – from the psycho-surgeons down to the receptionists – should be serving 30 years in a prison for the criminally insane. They are evil and amoral – nothing more to be said.
OLD GUY says
It is all about BIG bucks for the drug and medical professions, maybe profession is now the wrong word. Drug Dealers might be closer to their description.
Mind watch says
Yes, John, FYI and Phil you have done me a service in putting my thoughts on paper. I just can’t get over how disgusting this ‘Puberty Blocker’ push is. I mean, as stated, the kids do not yet know their true minds – the WOKE, TRANS brigade and spineless supporters are interfering with the child’s early biological development. they say “Puberty Blockers’ can help while they explore their gender identity” – but wouldn’t gender identity be eventually fully realized in line with their natural sexual development?
Notice how the politically correct authorities, in an attempt to contrive some genuine concern, only question it in terms of whether the treatment is safe or not. This is not the issue – the issue is whether this disgusting imposed ‘new-age’ concern for little ones’ ‘best and happiest development’ should even exist. It’s outrageous. So many ‘trans” here in Australia who have had genital ‘enhancement’ (as the disgusting WOKE team call it) commit suicide. The WOKE team should attend the funerals, and perhaps also take care of the ones who have breakdowns.
As for this mythical soap bubble called Allah, his tribe of ‘self-ordained little allahs’ are largely responsible for the mutilation of around 230 million girls and women’s genitals (recent posting on this site – UNICEF).
The WOKE Brigade seems to be going in the same direction!
In any case, FYI, I admire you for arousing enough respect to look at the Koran and pick out all the contradictions, inconsistencies and falsities. I can’t even look at it knowing it’s full of Muhammad’s wrath and nonsense. After all, there’s no God involved – it’s purely the gibberish & gobbledegook resulting from Muhammad’s manic driven ‘brain drain meltdown’ he had in that dingy bat cave.
Apologies for sarcasm etc. But this ‘Puberty Blocker stuff’ is just too much to take in. I’ll go to another article now to subdue myself. Thanks for the info.

When I read articles concerning people who should know better, i.e., medical professionals of all disciplines, advocate for this horrific maleficence, I think of some of the girls I grew up with and even some boys. I knew of boys playing with dolls as well as toy soldiers who would probably be classified as transgender. I have a very close female cousin who could fight better than the boys and could pick tobacco on the farm better than some of the male adults who acted very masculine but turned into a beautiful wife whose daughter became Miss North Carolina. Her home was always so warm and neat and today some low I.Q. so called doctor would have probably prevented all of this goodness that she has brought into the world. These hacks should have their licenses pulled and told to clean tables at a diner somewhere.
Also, thanks should be handed to J.K. Rowling for having the courage to stand up to the left. Even though I am not a fan of her writings, I have a lot of respect for her intrepidness.
somehistory says
Ray, you are most likely correct on all counts.
I was raised on a farm and had to do all that any male adult had to do…almost. I walked behind a plow and lifted heavy bushels of veggies. Produce I helped plant, hoe and pick.
I also played football and softball/baseball with my brothers and sometimes with other boys in the neighborhood. One day in elementary school, during dance, it was cold and because my mother had sent me to school in jeans, I danced the part meant for the guy and the boys called me “Sam.”
Had there been ghouls around then, running amok, I would probably have been subjected to all kinds of evil pressure to be a boy.
I read just a few days ago, a first person account of a young lady who expressed her sorrow…and probably anger…at having been told she would be happy if she was the boy on the outside she was on the inside and at 17, she was sliced up and given male hormones.
She can never go back to being what she really was and get the mental help she needed.
I have the same view of J.K. Rowling as you. Never read her books, but she does have the courage of her convictions.
Ray Jarman says
SomeHistory, Thank you for sharing part of your story as it was very touching and informative.
gravenimage says
So true, Ray. Ray and Somehistory, I hope you don’t mind my re-posting a comment I made a couple of years ago on just this subject:
Somehistory, that would be Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Disturbing stuff. Unless it is to protect their lives or health–incredibly rare–I don’t think that *any* gender surgery should be done on children. They should decide for themselves as adults.
And you are right–lots of girls go through “tom boy” phases–and I mentioned before a girl I knew who briefly said she wanted to be a boy because she was going through an awkward pre-teen phase and her older brother was the epitome of cool. She outgrew this in a couple of years when she became pretty cool herself.
I also had a friend whose little brother loved playing Barbies with us, mostly as I found out later because he had been ill and his older sister was the only one who spent a lot of time with him. Once he got better he developed friends of his own, including boys. Once I ran into him when he was in his early teens and mentioned our playing Barbie. He was not embarrassed, but said that he just liked it because he knew his sister did. He remained close to his sister, but had no real abiding interest of his own in “girl’s games”.
But what if some adult had looked at either of these cases and decided that these kids were really “trans”, and had pushed them to get a sex change? Troubling stuff.

Ray Jarman says
Thank you GravenImage for the response. It was very endearing and I totally agree with you in that no child should ever be permitted to undergo any gender changes as like you say it is part of the growing up process and for a doctor to ever perform such a travesty should never be allowed to retain his licenses to practice.
tim gallagher says
Good for Rowling for hammering these unethical scum who have carried out this evil process. I do hope that there will be hefty prison sentences coming up for some of the creatures who engaged in this evil program of wrecking confused young people’s lives in this way.
James Lincoln says
My opinion as a physician:
Any physician providing “gender affirming care” to minors – puberty blockers / surgery – should:
1. Be found guilty of medical malpractice
2. Have his / her license permanently revoked
3. Spend time in prison.

Good for her! If someone wants to ‘change their gender’ after they are adults, fine. But most kids don’t know what they want to do as grown ups, let alone use hormones or have irreversible “gender reassignment” surgery.
