Who is praying on the wall?

A new Telegraph story details how England’s National Health Service is embracing a radically different idea: childhood transgender identity generally doesn’t extend into adulthood.

The outlet encouraged doctors in its draft guidance to recognize such ideology could simply be a “transient phase” …

The document also addressed concerns over puberty-blocking drugs … Based on the text, the U.K. will move to more closely monitor these drugs in research settings.

“In view of the uncertainties surrounding their use, consideration should be given to the rapid establishment of the necessary research infrastructure to prospectively enroll young people being considered for puberty-blocking drugs into a formal research programme, with adequate follow-up into adulthood,” the draft document reads.

Even social transitioning seemed to be discouraged and more tightly controlled. This form of transitioning doesn’t involve drugs or surgeries, per se, but does include changing pronouns and clothing to align with the opposite gender.

The draft guidance said social transitioning shouldn’t be seen as a “neutral act,” as it could have a profound impact on kids.

“The interim service specification sets out more clearly that the clinical approach in regard to pre-pubertal children will reflect evidence that in most cases gender incongruence does not persist into adolescence,” the document reads.

It continues, “And that, for adolescents, the provision of approaches for social transition should only be considered where the approach is necessary for the alleviation of, or prevention of, clinically significant distress or significant impairment in social functioning and the young person is able to fully comprehend the implications of affirming a social transition.”

So, contrary to the affirmation-only approach currently dominating American culture, doctors and medical personnel are encouraged to watch and see how young people change and develop.

The NHS is making these changes after an independent review was commissioned in September 2020 to assess the state of transgender health care. …

One of the issues driving the investigation was the sharp rise in young people being referred for treatment to address transgender issues.

“In 2021/22 there were over 5,000 referrals into the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust,” the NHS document reads. “This compares to just under 250 referrals in 2011/12.” …
