This is a terrifying development in robbing trans people of dignity and support, and all LGBTQ people and allies should be horrified at how in less than a decade we've got to this state.
I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS.
These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st).
Forced medical detransition.
This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

Trans adolescents accessing the only NHS route to healthcare (WellBN) have been through a stressful year long transphobic investigation.
For a year they have sat under the threat of forced medical detransition.
With significant negative impacts. 1/2
