A high court has ruled that the ban on prescribing puberty blockers to children with gender dysphoria in England, Scotland and Wales instituted in May is lawful, saying that there was "powerful scientific evidence" in favor of the government's order.
The ban was spurred by the conclusions reached by pediatrician Hilary Cass regarding the available evidence for puberty blockers. The "Cass Review" found that the studies in support of puberty blockers were of low quality and had "low certainty" results.
