I can’t help feeling that it would be incredibly ironic if Victoria Atkins’ outrageous step of outlawing the prescription and possession of a narrow range of GnRH agonists (so-called ‘puberty blockers’) led to desperate families either obtaining old-style anti-androgens with actual documented risks or — shock — going straight to the cross-sex hormones which blockers were supposed to buy time from. Literally ‘unintended consequences on steroids’. Welcome to prohibition.
