Anyone condemning NHS England for these moves must look beyond current political/social discourse at the implications of allowing children who are unable to vote, drink, drive or any of the ""adult"" things to permanently modify their body. The research isn't clear, the science isn't clear, and the fact that this has become a political issue is quite frankly, alarming. The right thing to do is more research, which is what's currently happening. The NHS is right to publish guidelines that fit our current model of knowledge, and until new evidence shows that gender dysphoria _isn't_ a phase, we should continue to treat this like any other psychological issue as we have previously.
