Pro-Trans Parents Use EU Loophole to Dodge Puberty Blocker Ban

A private clinic is exploiting an EU loophole to help British parents obtain banned puberty blockers for their children. The Telegraph has the story.

Evidence seen by the Telegraph suggests children are having online consultations with EU doctors and then flying to the Continent with their parents to get injections of the maximum six-month dose of the drugs, which were indefinitely banned across the UK by Wes Streeting.

The method and logistics of circumventing the law are being promoted by Anne Health, a private trans clinic run by Susie Green, the former chief executive of Mermaids, the trans charity. …

Anne Health has also prescribed cross-sex hormones such as testosterone to under-16s, according to parents using the service, which is legal in the UK, but not recommended by the NHS and now subject to a government review.

Doctors based in Dublin, Ireland and Madrid, Spain, are understood to be among those being used by the clinic to prescribe puberty blockers to children, working with “known pharmacies” to dispense the drugs.

The hormone blockers have been banned in the UK since May 2024 following the landmark review into trans healthcare for under-18s by Baroness Cass, which found gender medicine had “been built on shaky foundations” and that there was “remarkably weak” evidence to support their use in children with gender dysphoria. …

Anne Health was founded by Ms Green, 57, and Lizzie Jordan, 43, an entrepreneur and sexual health advocate, in July 2024. …

In messages seen by the Telegraph, Ms Green seeks out parents online who are concerned about their gender-questioning children and guides them on how to access puberty blockers using her private clinic without breaking the law.

In one she talks about “medical tourism”.

In another, Ms Green tells a parent she “can get blockers” for their 15-year-old child. …

Ms Green took her own child – born male – to the US to access puberty blockers and then to Thailand for cross-sex surgery for their 16th birthday. …

Anne Health charges a £200 joining fee for a “youth membership” for under-18s plus a £150 monthly membership fee on a 12-month contract, at a total cost of £2,000 for one year, before any drugs or travel is paid for.

The membership fee includes blood tests, consultations and therapy, the company says. A prescription for a three-month injection is likely to cost £600 a time.

The company says it now has 23 employees and claims to be “helping nearly 600 people access life-saving gender-affirming care” after one year in operation.

I hope Ms Green’s son is happy for his whole life with what his mother has had done to him.

And we look at FGM, practiced in some stone-age cultures with abhorrence…
We are heading that way.

This is child abuse.
Ritual sacrifice via castration.
Oh, how insane we have become.
I’m 58. If someone had told my in my twenties that teenagers will be chemically and surgically castrated with the full support of their parents in 30 years time, I would have thought the guy was insane.
And yet, here we are.

“Anne HEALTH” will help you physically and chemically mutilate yourself or your child, and consolidate their mental illness.

For a fee….

Anne Health? There’s a play on words there:

The prefix “an-” is a privative prefix originating from Greek, meaning “not,” “without,” or “lacking”. See “anaerobic” for example.

Disgusting, highly unethical doctors. Disgraceful parents guilty of child abuse. Speaking of disgusting people: I wasn’t really aware of the link between puberty blockers and paedophilia. This is a very long thread by the excellent documentary maker, Malcolm Clark. You’ll only be able to read the posts if you’re on Twitter, but here’s an excerpt; ”What’s the connection between puberty blockers and paedophilia? My latest article -the most important I’ve written- explores how pro-paedophile intellectuals in the 1990s laid the groundwork for puberty blockers. You won’t believe how blatantly pro-paedophile they were. The decade began with the publication in 1990 of ‘Sexual Personae’ by Camille Paglia. She opposes puberty blockers but her book helped foster a pro-paedophile culture which assumed children were able to consent to radical decisions about their sexual development. Paglia argued, “male pedophilia is intricately intertwined with the cardinal moments of Western civilization”. She said sexologist John Money was her biggest inspiration. He gave an interview in 1991 to paedophile magazine ‘Paidika’ defending child sexual abuse as harmless. Money was the mentor of Dutch scientist Louis Gooren who wrote the first paper proposing puberty blockers. The Netherlands was the global HQ of paedophile activism at the time… Read more »

Paedophilia is always behind why some people, mostly men, work near children. The private clinics give them the chance to see the children alone and start the abuse or the grooming process.
They are becoming more desperate for ‘prey’ as we close down on abuse in schools, churches, sports, clubs, Childrens homes and charities.

The state of this. His parents must be proud;

”Today in Hertfordshire

Connor, who now goes by Charlotte is confronted and arrested for grooming multiple young girls online and arranging to meet one of them.

His electronic devices were seized and he was arrested on scene.”

In order to reduce the population to sustainable numbers whatever reduces reproduction in the willing will be promoted. Evolution’s ‘survival of the fittest’ is a cruel metric to observe.

That’s a point. Most normal adults who have kids would quite like to be grandparents some day. But it would appear that parents pushing this trans ideology onto their kids, being the instigators of putting them on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, then even taking their vulnerable teenage kid to a gender clinic to undergo irreversible surgery which will render them infertile, aren’t very fussed about being grandparents. In fact, they’re going out of their way to deny their kids the basic human right to be parents themselves one day, thereby ensuring these poor kids end up as nothing more than biological dead ends, and all without their explicit informed consent because these kids have been indoctrinated from a young age and could not possibly know what the future holds for them.

The depressing thing is that if you called these people the Devil’s spawn they’d be flattered.

I would laugh my socks off (if only it was not so tragic) if some of those Trans Adults later sued their/them parents for abuse.

How come female genital mutilation is illegal in this country but pa middle class mum, like Susie Green gets to slide on taking her son to Thailand to be castrated?

And, she’s a parent, for God’s sake…

Ah but FGM is cultural; trans surgery is “life affirming”

Circumcision is to my mind male genital mutilation. Non-consensual circumcision, as of minors, except for medical reasons should be made illegal. I’d like to sue whoever had me circumcised. I suspect it was just a routine procedure, carried out without consulting the parents, in the establishment in which I was born.
