Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England says

(from the 12th)

Puberty blockers solve the moral panic about kids with wrong-bodies being dangerous to their peers, but it does so in a way that keeps the window of transition open, and is therefore unacceptable to people that believe, implicitly or explicitly, that people’s bodies are not their own.

Kids have to become what their parents want, unless their parents are too weird, in which case kids have to become what “normal” third parties want.

Must like abortion access, the modern synthesis of how to control others involves demolishing all of the options, then declaring that there was no other choice. We’re winding back to the old atrocities of eugenics, but mediating layers of casuistry.
