UK Psychologist Who Worked at Child Trans Clinic Bravely Sounds Alarm in Damning Open Letter to Former Boss 'Puberty Blockers Are Not Fully Understood'"I have also seen accounts of young people who no longer identify as transgender, even after medical interventions and are now distressed about having been put on the medical pathway.

In addition, the psychologist noted that workers were constantly assuring children and their families that the administering of puberty blockers, and the effects thereof, are "fully reversible." The reality, however, is that the effects of these drugs are still not fully understood.
