      she is right, whatever your stance on it, the trial is important.

      *Now* she clocks that the whole thing is a politically-motivated hack job on trans people’s healthcare? *Now?!*

      The rest of us were aware of it years ago, and we didn’t get any funding or special platforms to point it out…

      The person that is apparently just a transphobe is right

      The trial needs to go ahead, whether that starting out at 14 year olds instead of 8 is another question, but the trial has to ho forward

      Wonder if *this* will be what gets people to actually read the recommendations from her review and realise that most of what it recommended wasn’t actually that bad or if people will just continue to paint her as the arch-transphobe in medicine.

      But yeah, if a review says more research is needed then blocking the research on the basis of *potential* long term problems is just stupid. *Especially* the specific grounds they raised.

      >The MHRA raised issues including the potential long-term effects of the drugs on fertility and bones, and whether children who might experience vaginal bleeding could report their symptoms.

      >“There were some bizarre things [in the letter], that children won’t be able to tell you if they’re bleeding. Well, anyone who can’t tell you if they’re bleeding can’t consent to this treatment. That seemed completely bizarre.”

      Well said.

      Also, isn’t the point of a trial to figure out more about potential long-term effects? How are we ever going to have good data on whether those are significant long-term effects if we don’t do trials? Are we just gonna assume they will definitely always happen based on a gut feeling? …We are, aren’t we.

      You can’t complain there’s poor evidence of efficacy and then block all attempts to gather such evidence.

      A properly controlled clinical trial is necessary.

      Pot calling the kettle black we see. Nows not the time to call bullshit on stuff when my people are thrown under the political bus when you just did it not a year ago. Fuck off

      More kids will come to harm if we do not gather research than will be harmed as a result of these trials. No one on either side of the debate wants children to come to harm (probably the only thing they can agree on) but stopping research before it even begins only guarantees that children will suffer unnecessarily because adults were more interested in political point-scoring than actually trying to help children.
