UNITED KINGDOM (LifeSiteNews) – More than 8,000 gender-confused minors are seeking puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones from the U.K. health system.
An investigative report published by Reuters last month found that an alarming number of teenagers are waiting to be prescribed hormones through the National Health Service (NHS), following the harmful trend which convinces children they can be “transgender” and become a member of the opposite sex.
The report, which analyzed documents from the NHS and the notorious Tavistock clinic, stated that annual referrals to the transgender clinic skyrocketed from 210 in the last 10 years to 5,234 as of March 2022. Between 10 and 20 percent of gender confused youth were referred for medical intervention last year, with 125 teenagers recommended for either puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones by August, the clinic said.
“According to NHS documents seen by Reuters, there were 7,696 minors on the waiting list for a first appointment as of July,” the report states. “Just over 1,000 young people were referred to the Tavistock from April to October and are awaiting attention.”
