Children are being paid to take part in an NHS puberty blocker trial, The Telegraph can reveal.
Some 226 children who believe they are transgender will be given puberty blockers as part of an investigation commissioned by Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, into their effects on the young.
The drugs, which stop the body’s natural development, were indefinitely banned by the Health Secretary after the Commission on Human Medicines said they posed “an unacceptable safety risk” to children.

A new study challenges the popular claim that medical interventions improve trans-identifying people’s mental health. Rather, the study argues, nonmedical factors like social support and coping style are far more important determinants of these individuals’ mental-health outcomes.
For years, doctors and medical associations have argued that patients with gender-related distress, including children, suffer from depression and suicidality and need access to “gender-affirming care” to relieve it. They presented this view as the scientific consensus, and that view has shaped policy debates about how readily these interventions should be offered and under what—if any—safeguards.
LGBTQI+ activist says the Canadian trans mass shooter is “the first victim of this tragedy.”
“It was the day that they could not take it any longer.”

I know that I seem to crack on our neighbors to the north quite a bit sometimes, but I can’t help it. I’m only human, and they can be so self-righteous and incredibly pathetic at the same time that it’s impossible not to say something.
Which is where I am right now about the ghastly situation that unfolded in the remote northern British Columbia town of Tumbler Ridge.

More information is emerging about those killed in the Tumbler Ridge, B.C., mass shooting.
On Wednesday, the RCMP said the school victims were a 39-year-old female teacher, and five students — three 12-year-old girls, and two boys, one aged 12 the other 13.
The transgender teenager responsible for Canada’s worst school shooting in nearly 40 years struggled with his physical appearance and was fixated with guns and drugs.
Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old from the remote town of Tumbler Ridge who was born a male, wrote online about his 6ft frame and his desire to be a “petite” woman.
He shot dead his mother, Jennifer Strang, and his 11-year-old stepbrother on Tuesday afternoon before walking to his former school 10 minutes away and opening fire on pupils and staff, killing eight before taking his own life.

“Let’s not politicize this,” said politicians of all stripes as they cried on cue for the victims of Tuesday’s school shooting at Tumbler Ridge BC that left nine people dead, including the killer, and 27 injured.
Meanwhile …
CBC is looking for the real killers!
In the wake of the Tumbler Ridge shooting, false claims about trans people spread online
On Wednesday afternoon, the RCMP identified the shooter in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., as an 18-year-old transgender woman who lived in the small community and had a history of mental-health issues.
But before the shooter was even identified, speculation around their gender identity was proliferating across social media.
Since the RCMP, in an emergency alert on Tuesday, described the shooter as a “female in a dress with brown hair,” prominent American right-wing influencers, social-media accounts and Reddit communities quickly spread and amplified anti-trans rhetoric.
This silly piece was written by the Globe’s “On-line culture reporter”.

More on the monster.
Another mass shooting, and another devastated community.
And once again, elites in the media class and public officials are so terrified of offending that they don’t dare ask the obvious question: Why are so many of the most horrifying attacks carried out by people who identify as “trans”?
After Canada suffered one of its deadliest school massacres Tuesday, police identified the biologically male shooter as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar — noting that he began to transition six years ago.
That’s right: another deadly attack by someone who is transgender.
Here is the TEEN BOY who you described as a “she” today.
Here is who you had numerous run ins with for what you typify as only “mental health calls” that included ARSON (Yes, that’s a criminal matter so where are the criminal charges?).

They are already sanitizing him.
Within hours of the massacre at Tumbler Ridge Secondary, the usual machinery kicked into gear. Politicians offered “thoughts and prayers.” Flags lowered. Prime Minister Mark Carney “suspended” his schedule. Pierre Poilievre tweeted his condolences, and meant them, because that is what decent people do when a community is gutted.
But nobody said what Jesse Strang actually was, transgender.

Journalism takes you to some strange places. Alas, to date in my career, I have yet to be asked to review a luxury hotel or a Michelin-starred restaurant. Instead, my lot is to probe the creeps and the criminals, the dregs and the drag queens. Today’s specimen, the convicted child rapist and popular drag queen, Darren Moore (full name Darren Haydn Meah-Moore), ticks every box.
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif became notorious at the Paris Olympics in 2024, winning gold in the women’s welterweight division despite allegations that Khelif was biologically male. Well, Khelif made an astonishing admission last week.
Remember when the press couldn’t stop fawning over trans athletes shattering records in women’s sports? It was yesterday, right? They acted as if watching males dominate females in competition was some kind of moral triumph, and every story turned into a sermon on diversity and acceptance.
English singer-songwriter Louise Distras, who was previously banned from music streaming service Ampwall for her allegedly ‘transphobic’ views, has submitted a formal complaint to the West Yorkshire Police Professional Standards after the police “repeatedly downplayed or ignored” three years of reports of “serious, sustained stalking, harassment, threats and intimidation from a trans rights activist” and instead treated her as the offender, she said on Substack.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has issued a broad recommendation against gender transition surgeries for youths, becoming the first major medical association in the United States to narrow its guidance on pediatric gender care amid a crackdown by the Trump administration.
A statement sent Tuesday to the group’s 11,000 members and obtained by The Washington Post recommends surgeons delay gender-related chest, genital and facial surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old. Fewer than 1,000 minors in the United States receive such surgeries every year, according to research published in JAMA, the American Medical Association’s journal, and the vast majority of the procedures are mastectomies, not genital surgeries.
