Is everything that disagrees with you BS? I have my sources and they will probably be at the bottom of this comment, at the very most the detransition rate is around 4% and of that 4%, 50% of it is because of lack of support or actually being non-binary. a 2% regret rate, and of that probably even fewer who get medical care for it, is not nearly enough to block millions of people from the gender affirming care they need. but that isn't the purpose of legislation like that anyways, banning gender affirming care is purely meant to erase trans people.

Most children who believe that they are transgender are just going through a “phase”, the NHS has said, as it warns that doctors should not encourage them to change their names and pronouns.

NHS England has announced plans for tightening controls on the treatment of under 18s questioning their gender, including a ban on prescribing puberty blockers outside of strict clinical trials.

There's a ton referring to it recently. If there's any refuting it (the statement or position), I've yet to come across it, even now when searching the topic.

NHS England says that the interim Cass Report has advised that even social transition, such as changing a young person’s name and pronouns or the way that they dress, is not a “neutral act” that could have “significant effects” in terms of “psychological functioning”.

Okay I could not find any official statement from the NHS, but from what I could find it seems the claim was made from a few detransitioning stories ignoring the millions of happy trans people, and like I said the regret rate is insanely low, the regret rate is somewhere around 0.2% to 2%, and again most of which probably didn't get any medical care for it. especially not children. I feel bad for people who regretted it but using detransition stories to tell people who are actually trans that they shouldn't transition is just dumb, detransitioners can not say what transitioning is like accurately because staying transitioned and being happy with it is the most important part of transitioning. in which a lot of trans people don't regret it and has improved their well being, again refer to the source I provided. and studies show that gender affirming care in trans minors improves their mental health.

so stop using that very few people who regret transitioning as proof that the people who need gender affirming care shouldn't have it.

It's pretty telling you never heard of the NHS in England...
