Ripple effect. Pink News excitedly reports
The parents of transgender teenagers in the UK have denounced the effect the ban on puberty blockers is having on their children.
According to North West Bylines, the parents of children receiving gender-affirming care at GP surgeries in East Sussex, have described life as “horrific” and “inhumane”, in the wake of the indefinite ban on new NHS prescriptions for puberty blockers for anyone under the age of 18, imposed by health secretary Wes Streeting last December.
But North West Bylines has withdrawn that article by “Sophie Molly” so your source is currently not a source.
They identify as journalists.
Whoops! Looks like this attempt of theirs to spin up another citation laundering ring is quickly unravelling.
It’s the same ‘yellowcake’ recipe — forged ingredients, overbaked spin — but this time even the usual stenographers are choking on it.
Let’s pretend the story’s contents are true.
That would be strange (though sadly unsurprising for adherents of genderism), given the laundry list of known iatrogenic harms that puberty blockers inflict on children by their use. These parents must have an odd concept of "horrific" and "inhumane" when they think stunting their children's growth isn’t either of these things.
Why on earth would ‘North West Bylines’ publish a story about families in East Sussex? ‘Our aim is to publish well-written, fact-based articles and opinion pieces on subjects that are of interest to people in the North West and beyond.’ East Sussex is pretty ‘beyond’ I guess. But no one in East Sussex would be reading this.
Presumably, the effect is that their children are entering puberty.
Puberty is tough going–for children and their parents. Perhaps the parents are unhappy about this.
From the article:
What an odd thing to emphasize. Does the breast growth demonstrate the fullness of the alleged ‘female puberty’? Because breast growth really isn’t the first thing that would occur to me.
