Comment on NHS England pauses new prescriptions of cross-sex hormones for under-18s

For anyone saying to ‘not let kids make permanent decisions’: A) these hormones are still being forced on intersex children regardless of impact on their mental health, and B) these hormones are also prescribed to cis children at even younger ages if deemed medically necessary for any reason, including mental health.
These laws aren’t about safety or concern for children. It is about controlling who gets access to necessary medical care, which should be a decision between a patient and their doctor.
