Medical research must meet the highest ethical and academic standards, especially when it comes to children.

We are calling on @KingsCollegeLon to end its involvement in the PATHWAYS puberty blockers trial.

EXCLUSIVE: The Government has issued new legislation to enable the "data linkage study" that follows up the children and young people who previously received care for gender related distress on the NHS.
More to follow...

[LGB Alliance @AllianceLGB]

We are pleased to see progress being made on the long-overdue data linkage study.

Analysing existing data was always the place to start rather than subjecting more children to unevidenced drugs.

We trust all relevant organisations will now cooperate.

This is amazing news! The data linkage study is crucial to understanding the effects of puberty blockers. Hopefully @KingsCollegeLon will now rethink their involvement in the awful PATHWAYS trial.

[Tracy Edwards @TracyEdwardsMBE]

I've signed this important letter calling on King's College London to use the pause in the puberty blockers trial to rethink its involvement, which carries serious legal, ethical and financial risks

As someone who used to work as Director of Student Support & Wellbeing at King’s College London, I was quick to add my name to this excellent letter.

When a second-year music student shows himself to have a much better grasp of medical ethics than the ethics committee that signed off this shameful clinical trial, it has to give us all a sinking feeling about the state of our institutions and hope for the future, in equal measure.

Please sign if you don’t think blocking a child’s puberty is a good thing. Let’s make this ‘pause’ permanent

[Connie Shaw @_ConnieShaw]

It’s happening. Students are protesting against gender ideology. This is only the beginning. Please share!!

[Malcolm Clark @TwisterFilm]

Please sign the petition to stop Kings College London sterilising children.

[LGB Alliance @AllianceLGB]

Please add your name to the signatories of this open letter. It is a relief that the PATHWAYS Puberty Blockers Trial has been paused. However, we feel strongly that it should be cancelled altogether.

[SEEN in Publishing @SEENPublishing]

Very happy to support this. No trial without a definitive test to say who will desist and who will persist. To proceed without such a test is unethical.

[Eloise Schultz @EloiseSchultz_]

Sign this open letter!!

[Michelle Dewberry @MichelleDewbs]

I was so relieved when I heard the news re the Puberty Blocker trial being paused.

It was a step in the right direction towards protecting vulnerable children.

The trial tho, needs to completely be stopped.

I’ve added my name to this letter.

Why is nobody exploring *why* for example, so many young vulnerable/autistic/traumatised girls are suddenly saying they are boys?! 🤯💔

[Genspect @genspect]

Genspect supports this excellent petition, which was set up by students at King's College to oppose the Pathways Puberty Blocker trial.

"It is known that while most children who go on puberty blockers will continue down that path of extreme medicalisation, the majority of children presenting with gender distress desist by adulthood if not medically intervened upon."
