1. Blockers are not harmful to bone growth: eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2…

#newsnight @BBCNewsnight
2. Puberty blockers don't affect greater brain function: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25837…

#Newsnight @BBCNewsnight
3. Puberty blockers are reversible: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22455322

#Newsnight @BBCNewsnight
4. Both @TheEndoSociety and @WPATH recommend puberty suppression for transgender children:

➡️ s3.amazonaws.com/amo_hub_conten…

6. Puberty blockers have no negative impact on bone mineral density or reproductive function: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10599723

#Newsnight @BBCNewsnight
7. Psychosocial problems are improved with puberty blockers, including a reduction in loneliness and behavioral problems: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

8. Puberty blockers can improve children’s quality of life and in some cases, save children’s lives: jme.bmj.com/content/34/8/5…

#Newsnight @BBCNewsnight
9. There is no risk of fertility from puberty blockers (going straight from blockers to cross-sex hormone treatment may lead to infertility, but puberty blockers themselves cannot cause infertility: npr.org/templates/stor…

#Newsnight @BBCNewsnight
10. Most importantly...

Trans kids exist. They need support. This medication is well evaluated in this situation. Doing nothing causes major harm. Doing nothing is not a neutral option. Every programme like this causes untold damage.

As #newsnight investigates puberty blockers, a reminder that Susie Green, CEO of trans kids, and lottery funded, charity Mermaids, last year tweeted that we should give more of these drugs to children & not be bothered if they become sterilised - or even if they're actually trans
#newsnight found that suicidal thoughts among young people INCREASED when they were given puberty blockers. The whole 'a trans child is better than a dead child' argument is even more mendacious than the bogus 40+% attempted suicide rate figures for trans kids
Children are supposedly given puberty blockers to give them time to decide if they want to take sex change hormones or not. #Newsnight finds 100% of kids at GIDS who took them went on to take hormones. GIDS admits it doesn't know the reasons for this statistical anomaly

@ITVTonight @RachelRileyRR @ITV 1/x

You are seriously falling for this? - She is smearing 850,000 Labour members and affiliates with disgusting language attacking Jeremy Corbyn who has supported Jewish causes for decades.

It is Rachel trolling!

@ITVTonight @RachelRileyRR @ITV 2/x

Here was an Early Day Motion to stop the closure of Jewish Radio Manchester - who was trying to stop the BBC cuts? Take a look! Is that antisemitism - or the opposite!

@ITVTonight @RachelRileyRR @ITV 3/x

Here again Corbyn supporting Jewish causes in 2010 - welcoming Jewish refugees fleeing persecution.

Is that antisemitism or the opposite?!

NOTE: Margaret Hodge didn't give a toss, her name isn't seen here - was probably covering her tracks with the PIE connections?

This national emergency WALL is a distraction from this socialist/commie legislation of forced vaccination that is not just for kids going to school but EVERY PERSON in America. They can’t wait to poison you. The vaccines contain aborted fetus cells from 12 to 14 week babys...
Here is a color coded vaccine ingredient list from the CDC...
@POTUS
Where is Trump now? All his followers and Q have been saying before this came about that Trump was against forced vaccination. I haven’t heard one word about it from him.

1) hard deal #brexit supporters, they're lying to you, again

There's still a hard core of no deal Brexit supporters on Twitter who repeat "leave means leave", "WTO rules" and, most importantly, "just walk away"

The problem is, Mogg and Co aren't offering that
2) yes, of course it *sounds* like they're offering no deal and yes, Mogg will say with confidence "you have to be prepared to walk away to get a good deal"
But he's not, none of them are, they all still want a deal

They're lying to you again, and here's why
3) yesterday morning a brexiter said "well obviously you have to pay to prepare for no deal to show you are serious, and if we then get a deal we won't have to pay for the preparations"

Yes, she said that.

 This young man is Muhammad Sharif Badwan. He was killed East of #Gaza City at the Karni crossing after being shot in the chest by #IDF gunfire on Friday afternoon. #Israel
2/5
 Many news sites refer to Badwan as either a protestor or a demonstrator who was shot and killed by the #IDF. The photo on the left, from the DailyMail, states Badwan is a protestor. The photo on the right from CGTN states Badwan is a protestor as well.
3/5
 The problem is Badwan wasn’t there to protest in the way most people think. This video was taken Friday afternoon at the Karni crossing where Palestinians were clashing w/ #IDF soldiers. At the end, you can see Badwan being evacuated after getting shot by the #IDF.
