In the UK: access to GnRHa hormone blockers during childhood. Routinely prescribed for precocious puberty in cis kids, yet literally illegal to prescribe to trans kids.
Because, you see, after excluding all studies not carried out in the UK, restricting to studies on trans kids, and then individually discarding the studies that remain, there's no evidence of safety. In fact, there's no evidence at all! Further research is needed before we feed experimental drugs to our vulnerable children. (We have to pass an emergency prohibition about this, because those meddling "doctors" won't listen. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2024/727/made)
Cis kids are… biologically different, somehow? So the studies demonstrating safety and efficacy apply just fine to them. Yeah, that's totally the reason: medical necessity. Not politically-motivated discrimination against a protected minority, no siree.
I'm not sure what you are arguing, but yes, unless a clear medical emergency the science definitely says kids should not be taking puberty blockers. Nearly every country is cracking down on giving them to kids (trans or not)
You just cited the report that the poster above you referenced as cherry-picked, which is rather amusing!
Regardless, and it's anecdata -- but everyone I know who is working in the fields of medicine on the subjects the cass review covers, have pointed out numerous critical flaws in it that undermine every single point it makes. It's actually somewhat worse than if you got a PDF paper from Natural News dot com, a site that I discovered in the mid 2010s was rehosting and editing medical papers to say whatever they wanted.
