UK Report Debunks Claim That Halting Puberty Blockers Increases Suicide in Gender-Confused Youth

Jonathon Van Maren-Blog : Jul 23, 2024  LifeSiteNews.com

This review is devastating to virtually every single claim trans activists have been making—and Appleby even notes, in point two of his summary, that trans activists themselves are posing a real danger to gender-confused children with their irresponsible lies about suicidality...

[LifeSiteNews.com] For more than a decade, the transgender movement has used a potent lie to blackmail desperate parents and feckless politicians into accepting their agenda: that if gender-confused children are not provided with sex changes—"gender-affirming care"—they will be at a high risk for suicide. Parent after parent heard the simple, deceitful question, posed to them by trans activist medical professionals: "Would you rather have a dead daughter, or a live son?" (Image: Unsplash-Joeyy Lee)

Yet another review highlights that this claim is completely baseless. As the BBC reported on July 20: "There is no evidence of a large rise in suicides in young patients attending a gender identity clinic in London, an independent review has found."

The report, titled "Review of suicides and gender dysphoria at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: independent report," was published by the UK government on July 19. Professor Louis Appleby was tasked by Health Secretary Wes Streeting to examine the evidence after LGBT activists claimed that suicide rates were spiking due to restrictions on puberty blockers, which were first implemented in 2020. The review concluded: 

  • The data does not support the claim that there has been a large rise in suicide in young gender dysphoria patients at the Tavistock. 
    • The way that this issue has been discussed on social media has been insensitive, distressing and dangerous, and goes against guidance on safe reporting of suicide. 
    • The claims that have been placed in the public domain do not meet basic standards for statistical evidence. 
    • There is a need to move away from the perception that puberty-blocking drugs are the main marker of non-judgmental acceptance in this area of health care. 
    • We need to ensure high quality data in which everyone has confidence, as the basis of improved safety for this at risk group of young people.

This review is devastating to virtually every single claim trans activists have been making—and Appleby even notes, in point two of his summary, that trans activists themselves are posing a real danger to gender-confused children with their irresponsible lies about suicidality. Suicide, as we have long known, is a social contagion—and trans activists are explicitly encouraging gender-confused children to claim suicidal ideation in order to acquire puberty blockers...
