""As organisations that work with and support trans young people, we are deeply concerned about the impact of your approach. We can work together to prevent further harm by taking a more careful, compassionate, and supportive approach.""
""The extreme lack of caution being shown by the Government and NHS England through its continued assault on the availability of gender-affirming care risks causing serious long-term damage to a generation of trans youth.""
Ten LGBTQ+ youth organizations have urged Health Secretary Wes Streeting to listen to trans youth and stop supporting anti-trans campaigners. They request the lifting of restrictions on gender-affirming care for young people and timely, holistic care based on informed consent. This plea follows the pause of the PATHWAYS puberty blockers trial and updated NHS guidance restricting access to treatments for 16 and 17-year-olds. The organizations express concern over the potential long-term harm caused by the government's current approach to gender-affirming care.
