Seems like most of you who posted to the thread based on the headline did not read the good news in the article. Based on a lack of solid clinical evidence, England (and several other nations of Europe) have backed away from rushing confused children directly to gender transition. This is a good thing!

England's National Health Service (NHS) controls the vast majority of healthcare for English citizens. It is a socialist, dictatorial system in which many have died because their symptoms were overlooked or their treatments failed, and their courts would not allow the patient to seek care in the U.S. or elsewhere.

The NHS Tavistock Clinic had been promoting transgender hormones and surgeries on children for decades; however, Tavistock was successfully sued by a detransitioner, and was closed. This article says the NHS has set up a program of treating children with mental health therapy instead of rushing them into transition.

The headline "trans treatment" refers to emotional and health therapy. NHS is not even going to allow children below the age of seven to receive any treatment labeled "gender", for fear of affirming the child's delusion. They will receive counseling.

Meanwhile in the U.S., transgender ideology in schools and healthcare systems remains widespread, government mandated, promoted and in many ways funded by the Biden administration. But as far back as ten years ago, many U.S. states banned "conversion therapy" for gender-confused patients and the campaign against viewing homosexuality as a clinical illness, thereby suppressing research and treatments, goes back to the 1970s.

Never forget that most of the mainstream media are very pro-LGBT; hence the misleading headline.

The US is also extreme compared to Europe in the case of late term abortions. Brits are astounded when they hear about 3rd trimester abortion up to to and after birth.

You are correct, I was responding to the headline without checking veracity.
