That Love Tank puberty blockers guide: Baroness Cass has joined in. The Telegraph:
Baroness Cass has called on the National Lottery to stop funding a website that helps children get around a ban on puberty blockers.
Baroness Cass, whose review of NHS gender clinics led to the ban, said she was “appalled” that Lottery money was being given to The Love Tank, which has produced online guides she described as “dangerous” to children’s health.
The Government is now under pressure to force The Love Tank to take down the online advice that the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has deemed “unacceptable and irresponsible”….
Baroness Cass told The Telegraph: “I am appalled to hear that both the National Lottery and Wellcome Trust are supporting an organisation that is producing materials that the DHSC has rightly described as irresponsible and unacceptable.
“It is irrelevant whether they are funding this project or The Love Tank’s other projects. No ethical national body or charity, and particularly one which professes to promote health, should give funds to an organisation providing dangerous information to children, any more than they should support the tobacco industry.”
So there.
It’s a shame she’s given her backing to the puberty blocker trail – but we can’t have everything.
