Trans lobby group threatens to help break puberty blockers ban by exploiting loopholes
Share:
Campaigners demanded an urgent review of the puberty blockers ban last night over a trans lobby group’s offer to help children exploit loopholes. Hours after they were permanently banned by the Government last week, Anne Trans Health started offering youngsters ‘legal, compassionate and supportive routes’ to access the body-altering hormones, which halt development into adulthood.

The organisation is led by Susie Green, 56, who previously ran controversial trans charity Mermaids, which promoted sex reassignment surgery and sent chest binders to young girls without their parents’ knowledge. The ban prevents NHS or private doctors from prescribing puberty blockers for gender dysphoria. It also bans the sale and supply of them from doctors in Europe.
Activists protesting outside Health Secretary Wes Streeting's constituency office against his decision to indefinitely ban puberty blocking drugs for people under 18. Anne Trans Health, led by Susie Green (pictured), started offering youngsters ‘legal, compassionate and supportive routes’ to access the body-altering hormones.
However, it is believed Anne Trans Health encourages children to fly to the Republic of Ireland, where the banned medicines can be prescribed and supplied. Patients can then return home with them. Stephanie Davies-Arai, of campaign group Transgender Trend, said the scheme should be outlawed ‘for the protection of vulnerable children’.
On Wednesday, Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced an indefinite ban on puberty blockers for children after the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) said they presented 'an unacceptable safety risk for children and young people under 18 years without significant additional safeguards'.
