NHS backpedals on transgender treatments for minors, says most children are just going through a ‘phase’

In an astonishing turn of events, the National Health Services of England announced that most children who believe that they are transgender are just going through a “phase,” the Telegraph reported on Sunday. The publicly funded health care provider stated that it would take a more cautious approach when treating minors with gender dysphoria.

Doctors should not encourage children to socially transition because transitioning is not a “neutral act,” and it could have “significant effects” in terms of “psychological functioning,” according to the new NHS report.
