But it's NOT a 'Blanket' ban as that would have to surely include cis patients, aka ALL patients, not merely Transgender people, that's what constitutes a'Blanket' ban surely. Which means its a selective deacrimatory ban.

Afaik, the CHM’s position is that the government lacks the power to interfere with a doctor’s decision to prescribe medication so there must be a total ban. This is what we refer to in public law as Wednesbury unreasonableness.

This, by itself, is proof that Wes Streeting and this 🇬🇧 Labour government are continuing an anti trans culture war.
This cannot be about safety because all those other groups taking puberty blockers are safe taking them (and don’t “become trans” or whatever silly claim is made).

![The most recent international guidelines [12] suggest that GAH should be initiated in transgender adolescents whose gender incongruence has been confirmed according to the criteria outlined in the ICD-11 (Table 1). Additionally, these adolescents should demonstrate sufficient emotional and cognitive maturity to provide informed consent for treatment. Unlike strict age criteria, other factors such as the duration of gender incongruence, medical follow-up history, persistence of transition requests, psychological distress, and the individual's maturity level should be considered when determining the optimal timing for introducing GAH.
In situations where GAH is introduced before Tanner stage 5 (especially when GnRHa has been previously prescribed), suppression can be maintained upon the introduction of GAH to prevent the action of endogenous hormones and the appearance or continued progression of secondary sexual characteristics in the undesired gender.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d56idxm2oyqwwn2uxnegm2yo/bafkreicxk5xed5no2jm57oz6mzrtrenufehvmqn7ig4cqrgdeuiu52hqwu@jpeg)
