Re: UK to heavily restrict access to puberty-blocker medication for trans youth
Bell v Tavistock has just been watered down. Parental consent is now a possibility, and while that disadvantages youth with unsupportive families, it does at least limit the extent of court involvement in many cases. A full reinstatement of the Gillick principles would be preferable, but it's a step.
"Doctors keep their scalpels and other instruments handy, for emergencies. Keep your philosophy ready too—ready to understand heaven and earth. In everything you do, even the smallest thing, remember the chain that links them. Nothing earthly succeeds by ignoring heaven, nothing heavenly by ignoring the earth." M.A.A.A
