England's National Health Service has banned the use of puberty blockers for the treatment of gender dysphoria or gender incongruence in transgender minors. The NHS has not stated it will restrict puberty blockers for non-transgender children and young people. An NHS spokesperson told ABC News the agency hopes to have a study into the use of puberty blockers in place by December of this year, with eligibility criteria yet to be decided. The agency said it made the move after considering an evidence review conducted by England's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. "We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of puberty suppressing hormones to make the treatment routinely available at this time," an NHS spokesperson told ABC News in a statement
Major medical associations in the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and others agree that gender-affirming care is safe, effective, beneficial and medically necessary.

There is not a single long-term study to demonstrate the safety or efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for transgender-believing youth. This means that youth transition is experimental, and therefore, parents cannot provide informed consent, nor can minors provide assent for these interventions. Moreover, the best long-term evidence we have among adults shows that medical intervention fails to reduce suicide.
Puberty blockers may actually cause depression and other emotional disturbances related to suicide. In fact, the package insert for Lupron, the number one prescribed puberty blocker in America, lists "emotional instability" as a side effect and warns prescribers to "Monitor for development or worsening of psychiatric symptoms during treatment." Similarly, discussing an experimental trial of puberty blockers in the U.K., Oxford University Professor Michael Biggs wrote, "There was no statistically significant difference in psychosocial functioning between the group given blockers and the group given only psychological support. In addition, there is unpublished evidence that after a year on [puberty blockers] children reported greater self-harm, and the girls also experienced more behavioral and emotional problems and expressed greater dissatisfaction with their body"so puberty blockers exacerbated gender dysphoria."

These pediatrics seem to think other wise.
I wonder if One knew that and posted anyway to propagate lies, or if the poster was fooled by that groups intentional dishonesty?
The American College of Pediatricians is a sham group, like America's Frontline Doctors. Political groups created with names to fool people and to lie for political gain by the right-wing. Ladapo's a member of the "demon sperm" America's Frontline Doctors group.
