US must follow the UK's lead and abandon the gender experiment

The United Kingdom’s National Health Services announced this week it will no longer routinely prescribe gender-confused children puberty blockers, admitting the hormonal treatments are experimental in nature and can have lasting physical and mental consequences.

The decision is the result of an internal investigation into the massive spike in referrals to the Tavistock gender clinic, which is set to close at the end of the month. Dr. Hilary Cass, a pediatrician who oversaw the investigation, concluded last summer that there was not enough evidence to support Tavistock’s treatments and that much more research was required. This week, that decision became final.
