UK High Court Upholds Emergency Ban on Puberty Blockers on July 29, 2024
Jul 29, 2024, 01:30 PM
The UK High Court has ruled that the emergency ban on puberty blockers introduced by the Conservative government is lawful. This decision, made on July 29, 2024, impacts all transgender minors seeking hormone treatment in Great Britain. The ruling comes after a challenge supported by Jolyon Maugham's Good Law Project, which argued that the ban lacked proper consultation and violated Article 8 rights. The court's decision praised the Cass Review for providing powerful scientific evidence supporting restrictions on the supply of puberty blockers, specifically Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone Analogues. Critics argue that the ban denies essential medical treatment to transgender youth, while supporters claim it protects children from irreversible harm.
