  I assume op is referring to the recent Cass review

    The overview had no mention of a lack of support for “not transitioning” it’s certainly possible I’m missing it or it’s in the full report (which I’ll read when I get a few minutes).

    One mention of the need for corresponding levels of support for de-transitioning and some mentions of increased support for other issues alongside the gender based ones.

    It sounds like OP had a specific section/sections in mind, if this is indeed the report they were referencing I’d appreciate some indication to which part they were referencing specifically.

    “The overview didn’t mention it, but its somewhere in this 232 page report” isn’t the most useful when trying to understand where someone is coming from.

      Yes I’m also not entirely sure what op meant, I assume they will be along shortly to update us.

      Personally I think we should be giving kids a lot more support in not transitioning. And by transitioning, I mean transitioning from a girl to a woman or from a boy to a man. If the child isn’t 100% certain they want to go through with massive irreversible hormonal changes, they shouldn’t. I don’t care whether those hormones come from a pill or from a gonad. They can make an informed decision whether to continue with puberty when they’re 16-18

        Do you have any information on how easy the resumption of puberty is after that sort of delay?

        It never occurred to me that this was possible and I’m interested in how it might work.

        I think you’re underestimating the care and caution with which these decisions are approached. No one is rushing kids into transitioning if they’re not sure. There are many safeguards to make sure transitioning only happens where it’s appropriate and the person fully understands and agrees to it.
