"Why puberty blockers do no harm" Australia's public broadcaster, the ABC, has just published this. @abcnews So, who is the author? A paediatrician, an endocrinologist? It is a doctor, Dr Rach Cosker-Rowland. At the foot of the article, the ABC describes Dr Rach as an Associate Professor in Moral and Political Philosophy at the University of Leeds. Yes, in the UK, where the Labour Health Secretary Wes Streeting has imposed an indefinite ban on private prescribing of puberty blockers for gender-distressed kids. Where the distinguished paediatrician Dame Hilary Cass presided over the world's most comprehensive review of youth gender medicine and found plenty of reasons to be concerned about the use of puberty blockers. Set against this, what is the expertise & standpoint of Dr Rach? ABC readers are not told that Dr Rach is a director of the company Trans Pride Leeds CIC. Should readers be told if Dr Rach is also trans activist? Should parents act on this advice, ignore all the warnings & put their distressed kids on blockers? "Why puberty blockers do no harm" How could any responsible editor publish such an article? Links etc in tweet below.
