The practical effect of the judgment will be that puberty blockers will very rarely be prescribed to those under 16 which will mean (given they are only useful to those undergoing puberty) that they are very rarely prescribed.

I shrink not one inch from the point I made, before the hearing started, that it was profoundly wrong of the Court to determine the treatment rights of trans children whilst refusing to hear from any.

And why was that exactly? Anything to do with the lack of any relevant data or new information by chance?

Denied as they brought nothing new or relevant to the case, just being an advocate isn’t enough. I would have thought as a barrister you would know that, or are you framing this so that people think these groups were deliberately denied

They didn't listen to *any* one who was an advocate or any trans people. How can they bring nothing new in that situation? It's just bullshit.

Because their submissions were humiliatingly incompetent. Jeremy Hyam QC will tell you this. Er, you're not publicly impugning Mr Justice Supperstone's competence and impartiality are you?

Refused permission because they were determined - by the court - to be bringing nothing new to the table in terms of evidence. THAT is a "bare fact" you appear reluctant to mention.

That's the court's excuse, yes, but it doesn't make it acceptable.

The reason they weren’t brought in was that they had no evidence/factual info to present, only their usual rhetoric/dogma/emotional manipulation. It’s appalling that as a ‘QC’ you persist on continuing to spread misinformation. Where is your objectivity?

?? The charities did submit, and it was poor material. Not cool to spread misinformation.
