Original Note:
The decision to ban puberty blockers for those under 18 was the result of safeguarding concerns discovered in the Cass report. Medications must be shown to be safe and effective before they can be given. Puberty blockers as used for gender dysphoria lack this evidence. https://cass.independent-review.uk/home/publications/final-report/final-report-faqs/ https://www.gmc-uk.org/professional-standards/professional-standards-for-doctors/good-practice-in-prescribing-and-managing-medicines-and-devices/deciding-if-it-is-safe-to-prescribe#:~:text=Before%20prescribing%2C%20you%20must%20consider,other%20treatments%20they%20are%20receiving
