"Puberty is a right of passage, not a disease to be mitigated against." Chloe Cole
The UK government is setting up six new clinics to experiment on children experiencing gender dysphoria.
I read with dismay and surprise that the UK’s new Labour government is planning to open six new gender clinicals to run puberty blocker clinical trials in children.
Please watch Chloe Cole’s powerful testimony to Congress.

What are the facts about puberty blockers?
Fact 1: They are licensed for children experiencing precocious puberty. In other words a child of 5 may start to experience puberty. This is not normal, and these drugs are designed to stop this process. Puberty blockers are not licensed for use in children experiencing gender dysphoria.
Fact 2: Puberty is a normal part of development. The hormones that are released in puberty, are important for the development of the sexual organs, as well as other organs in the body, including the brain.
Fact 3: The effect of administering puberty blockers in children suffering from gender dysphoria, which is a psychological condition, and likely temporary in most children, will stop them from developing physiologically and mentally.
Fact 4: Children who do not go through puberty will be left in limbo as far as their development is concerned.
Fact 5: Prolonged administration of puberty blockers will lead to sterility.
Fact 6: The prolonged administration of puberty blockers has to be done off-label.
Fact 7: The adverse consequences of administration of these drugs in children has not been studied. Studying these drugs in children would be against Good Clinical Practice, because the children are healthy, and the risk benefit is not in their favor.
Fact 8: Children are vulnerable. When they are experiencing psychological distress, the underlying causes of this should be carefully explored. Administration of puberty blockers cannot solve the underlying issues.
Fact 10: Children cannot give their informed consent to take part in the planned UK clinical trials.
Fact 11: There is an increase of children who are self-diagnosing themselves as “Trans” due to exposure to social media and Trans propaganda.
Fact 12: Healthy volunteer studies are designed for the healthy. These are not healthy volunteer studies, and the children who take part in the puberty blocker clinical trial will be harmed.
Fact 13: Children cannot give informed consent because they cannot, at their young age, fully understand the gravity of the decisions they are being asked to make to take part in the clinical trials.
Fact 14: This is the one that is likely to lose me some readers. There is no drug, hormone or surgery that can change a person’s biological sex. Ouch! Au revoir! Ciao! Arrivederci! Hasta Luego! Auf Wiedersehen!
A word to parents
Most reasonable parents are not going to permit their children to take part in these clinical trials. Unfortunately, there are sensible parents, who are themselves being told that if their child is not given puberty blockers, they will commit suicide. Others are being threatened with the loss of custody of their children if they block them from taking puberty blockers. Yes, there are a few parents who virtue signal the fact that they have a “Trans” child, and they will be happy to enroll their children in these clinical trials. Fortunately, these parents are a rarity.
Here are some reasons why this UK government decision is wrong:
The administration of puberty blockers will irreparably damage the reproductive health of the children who take part in these clinical trials
Children do not have the competence to give informed consent to take part in these clinical trials. They cannot possibly conceive of what the outcome of these clinical trials will be for them and their future health. To place children in these clinical trials, would be unusually cruel, and against their human rights.
No reasonable and competent parent would take their children to take part in these clinical trials, and so it becomes necessary to manipulate and scare them into doing so. Parents have revealed that they were asked, “Would you rather have a dead son, or a living daughter?”
The safety impact of the administration of puberty blockers cannot be determined during a clinical trial. The children with gender dysphoria would need to take these and other hormonal drugs for the rest of their lives, and the probability is that iatrogenic diseases will occur as a result of such long-term administration.
Cancers are likely to occur as a result of long-term administration of these hormones and other agents necessary to maintain the transition to the opposite biological sex.
Most children will grow out of their body or gender dysphoria, yet the effect of puberty blockers is irreversible.
I have attached 3 videos of young people sharing their experiences of being railroaded into “gender affirming care”. I could find thousands of such videos, because these testimonials are the natural outcome of barbaric interventions on children.
Iatrogenic adverse outcomes take years to come to light. The clinical trial process is unable to elucidate these outcomes. Following these children for the rest of their lives would be expensive, and this will not be done.
The surgical transition industry is worth $5 Billion. This seems to be a very conservative number.
I am closing with a word from a physician who understands the dangers to children of current policy.
This physician gets it. CLICK to watch
It is likely that the UK and other governments will sanction the conduct of these clinical trials on the most vulnerable in their societies. Don’t participate. Many clinical trials never get underway, because patients choose not to take part in badly designed clinical trials. You can do the same.
I fear for the children who grow up in what are called ‘children’s homes” in the UK. They are subject to all forms of abuse, and often suffer tremendous torment and confusion. These children should be off limit for these types of abusive experiments, but I suspect they will be coerced into them.
