Puberty Blocker Trial Sparks Controversy
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
A controversial NHS-backed clinical trial for puberty blockers in children under sixteen is under fire. The trials success is primarily measured by a ten-question survey, raising concerns about its scientific validity. The survey includes questions about puberty feeling like a betrayal and disliking body parts, leading to a legal challenge from parents and pressure from politicians to halt the project. The trial is part of a larger project called PATHWAYS, aiming to support young people attending gender services, but the reliance on subjective surveys about gender-related distress remains a major issue.
