UK GIDS psychologist here making unsubstantiated speculation that blockers 'crystallise an identity that might have had a different outcome'. Please provide peer reviewed evidence for this medical claim or clarify this is your unproven theory @psychomologist.https://twitter.com/psychomologist/status/1153301942875148289 …

Replying to @FierceMum
Hi
@FierceMum. As this BBC article from today shows, this is a *potential* issue (note my use of the word “may” in my tweet) that Consultant Endocrinologist Prof Russell Viner includes in the informed consent for GIDS early intervention research https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-49036145 …pic.twitter.com/W2Zo7GXNP4

Also well documented: Puberty blocking/hormones may prevent the "decisive experiences" needed for youth to realize their sexual orientation. It's well known that many early-onset GD kids, if untampered with, grow up to be healthy, unmedicalized LG adults. Alexander Korte, 2008:pic.twitter.com/syhjSeanYE

Here's more detail, including that blockers "restrict sexual appetite and functionality," thus interfering with normal adolescent psychosocial development. Source visible in screen grab, Korte, 2008.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1074794229971398656 …

4thWaveNow @4th_WaveNow9/ It's extremely troubling so many activists continually promulgate the lie that affirmative care is a "consensus." Clinicians around the world know better. Here's Alexander Korte et al expressing concerns about blockers/hormones interfering w/ normal sexual development. pic.twitter.com/LRTM0wEHdzShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

This thread has a lot more, including from Dr. Jack Drescher (hardly a transphobe), and Dr. Eric Vilain. The elephant in the room is: Why aren't we doing more to protect proto-LGB children from possibly unnecessary medical interventions?https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1087911955103387648 …

4thWaveNow @4th_WaveNowVilain: "I'm actually wondering what are we trying to accomplish here? Are we trying to reduce the number of gay & lesbian adults?"

The whistle-blowing Tavistock clinicians are also wondering why no one in the trans community seems concerned that many young lesbians are wrongly concluding that they are in the wrong body. This should be a concern to ANYONE who cares about LGBT youth.https://twitter.com/Neverfallingfo1/status/1153310982430691329 …
