About the violator

• Text: England banned the use of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria outside of research trials. NHS England's interim clinical policy states that “The primary intervention for children and young people who are assessed as suitable for The Service is psychosocial (including) and psychological support and intervention; the psychoeducation main objective is to alleviate distress associated with gender incongruence and promote the individual’s global functioning and wellbeing.” On March 21, 2024, the NHS also updated its policy on cross-sex hormones for youth, removing the requirement of puberty blockers as a prerequisite step for cross-sex hormone treatment, presumably to make two policies better aligned (since puberty blockers will no longer be available). The final Cass Report was published in April 2024. SEGM's analysis concluded that the report signaled the end of the era of "gender-affirmative," gender-clinic-led model of care in England, with significant worldwide implications. No new prescriptions of cross-sex hormones for minors have been issued since the publication of the final Cass Report, and the use of puberty blockers are only be allowed as part of the PATHWAYS clinical trial, which is set to start recruitment during 2026.
