Description

A contentious trial involving puberty-blocking drugs for children faces legal challenges, with critics labeling it grotesque and chemical castration. The NHS-backed study at Kings College London aims to study the effects on young people questioning their gender identity. Concerned parents and an individual who regretted their own gender treatment have initiated legal action, arguing that testing these medications on minors is unlawful and unethical. Supporters, however, view the research as a crucial step towards establishing safe and effective care for transgender children.
