Puberty blockers have been banned for anyone under 18 in England.
The country’s National Health Service decided to make the decision not to give the prescriptions to minors for gender transitioning due to concerns about safety.
An NHS spokesperson gave the update, saying, “We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of puberty suppressing hormones to make the treatment routinely available at this time.”
Currently, there are less than 100 minors in the U.K. that are actively taking puberty blockers. Going forward, puberty blockers will not be prescribed unless they are part of a clinical research trial.
As the BBC reported, Health Minister Maria Caulfield said, “We have always been clear that children’s safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS. Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child.”
This decision comes as LGBTQ agendas continue to be pushed onto youth at an alarming rate in America. Entities like Disney have not only accepted this belief, they have spearheaded its cause.

From using a transgender influencer for their clothing, allowing grown men to dress up as “fairy godmothers” to putting LGBTQ storylines in their recent films, Disney has tried to sway an entire generation into believing that their gender identity is the most important thing about them.
As our world is in a battle for the attention of the youth, it’s critical to remember Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
What we train children now will affect them for the rest of their lives. The things we allow them to do today will make a difference in the kind of adults they will grow up to become, and how they will contribute to society.
