Britain is currently entering a political furore over one of the major failures into the Cass Review into child gender transition services in the UK which was the report’s recommendation that there should be a clinical study into the efficacy and safety of puberty blockers. This recommendation was in my view an error because it would be almost impossible to carry out such a clinical study ethically. We now know that blocking a child’s puberty is not without harm. Puberty blocking drugs are not ‘temporary stops’ as the Trans cultists make them out to be but do permanent damage to child’s body and to their cognitive abilities.

There is no need for a clinical study that will without doubt leave some of all of the participants with reduced fertility, lower bone density, cognitive impairment and impaired judgement. In particular we know that attempts to ‘transition’ children, of which puberty blocking is one part, do not cure these children of whatever ails them. We know this because those concerned with promoting the blocking of a child’s puberty contacted a study into the effects of puberty blocking but refused to publish it when the results didn’t go their way.

There’s a brilliant article by Graham Linehan about what the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the leaders of the medical transition movement, knew, which was that gender transition in children was ineffective, but didn’t tell the public.

I will only quote lightly from Mr Linehan’s piece because you really should read his article as it shows how the lie that children can change their gender was created, how it was spread and how possibly well meaning people pushed a process that didn’t work, which harmed children and took over much of Western society.

Here’s some of what Mr Linehan said:

“WPATH paid a team at Johns Hopkins to find out whether transitioning children actually works. The team, led by Dr Karen Robinson, did the reviews, graded the evidence and reported back. It found “little to no evidence.” That was not the answer WPATH wanted, so WPATH made sure the answer never got out. After all, it had written into the arrangement that the research be used “for the benefit of advancing transgender health in a positive manner”. It sat on the inconvenient data, until Robinson was reduced to complaining in writing that WPATH was “trying to restrict our ability to publish.”

It’s a single example, but it lights up the rest of the scandal like floodlights over a stadium. This is not the story of a hard question that one side got wrong in good faith. It’s the story of an organisation that knew it had no evidence, and pressed on anyway. We know all this because on 17 June the Federal Trade Commission, joined by the attorneys general of Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas, sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health in a federal court in Fort Worth. WPATH writes the Standards of Care, the document every gender clinic in the West reaches for when a parent asks whether the benefits outweigh the damage.

JK Rowling said that taking down WPATH would be the gender critical Battle of Stalingrad, and here’s what makes this case more than just another skirmish in an endless war. The evidence for it arrives on three separate levels, any one of which would be damning on its own. Put together, they close every exit for the trans movement.

Please read the entirety of Mr Linehan’s article as it is both informative and justly anger inducing. So many children have been harmed physically and mentally by the cult of trans and those who should have known better but who supported and boosted this dangerous cult.
