"England's NHS Halts Puberty Blocker Prescriptions Amid Controversy"

England's NHS has decided to stop routinely prescribing puberty blockers to children with gender dysphoria due to limited evidence of their safety and effectiveness. The decision has been praised by detransitioners who have experienced negative effects from such treatments, with one calling it a matter of "common sense." However, a U.K.-based charity supporting transgender children has expressed disappointment, while detransitioners have shared their experiences of enduring lasting side effects from puberty blockers.

AMC caves to pressure and cancels detransition documentary.

AMC theaters canceled screenings of a documentary about detransitioners following a pressure campaign by the Queer Trans Project. The film, 'No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care,' shares stories of five young people who detransitioned after going through medical treatment to attempt to change their gender. The Queer Trans Project launched an aggressive online campaign to encourage protestors to send letters to AMC executives to pull the release of the documentary. One of the detransitioners featured in the film, Laura Becker, spoke with Fox & Friends on Monday about the apparent stifling of the film. The film's producers claim AMC tabled screenings that were due to begin on June 21 following pressure from the group, which did not have access to the entire film and therefore based its assessment exclusively on the trailer and press surrounding the film.
