The only thing it’s denying is surgery that could cause sterilization. A thing that is pretty rare for children to undergo.
HRT can cause sterilization. It’s very safe, but it can. The UK conservatives just banned puberty blockers on the claim that it could cause sterilization. There’s nothing reasonable about this innocuous line. It’s a carte blanche to stop all coverage.
Is that ever performed on minors for gender reassignment reasons anyway? It seems like a weird thing to ban. What’s next, are they going to make it illegal to perform GRS on dead people?
It is, but it’s not common. There’s a metric fuck ton of hurdles that have to be jumped through, so it’s basically just a dog whistle used to justify banning any gender affirming care.
Ah, so same playbook as abortion with those scary ‘late stage abortions’ that are basically exclusively done to rescue people from dangerous and nonviable pregnancies.
