I have taken several deep breaths before bashing this response out, but do excuse me if my incredulity and rage is particularly evident. You can read the initial piece I wrote about the Puberty Blocker ban here. This piece was written in a rush so apologies for errors.
The New Zealand High Court has just handed down a judgment that effectively says because puberty blockers are being prescribed, they must therefore be safe. Pretty circular logic there, champ. Basically the reasoning is that because doctors are using them, they must be okay and the state should not interfere. And because harm has not yet been universally acknowledged by the medical establishment, the law should treat that harm as unproven, marginal, or speculative. Sounds a bit back-to-front.
