Hi, I have to tell you about the recent developments in the Pathways puberty-blocker trial because they are more serious than the headlines let on. You may already have seen the news. What I want to do is cut through the spin and tell you plainly what this actually means for the children caught up in it. We have been fighting hard to shut this trial down for over a year now. It has been a long and painful process, and this is still only the beginning. As a result of our pressure, King's College London has now raised the minimum age for children entering the trial, and they want you to see this as progress. It is not. Originally, there was no official lower age limit at all. The researchers behind this trial actually argued that setting one would "discriminate" against younger children who wanted to take part. Under pressure, the regulator stepped in and demanded that the minimum be raised to 14. King's College pushed back and settled on far younger still, agreeing that girls must be at least 11 and boys at least 12. Do not be fooled. Don't let anyone tell you this is a safeguard. It is a headline. It lets them say the trial has been "strengthened" while the fundamental danger stays exactly the same. An 11-year-old is still a very young child. Children of that age, and in fact children of any age, deserve to be protected from these drugs entirely. Nothing about the danger these children face has changed. We should be clear about what is actually at stake here, because a child's age does not change any of it. These drugs interrupt a young person's natural development at the exact point their body and brain are meant to be growing. The evidence on long-term harm is deeply troubling, including damage to bone density that may never fully recover, and unknown effects on cognitive development during a critical stage of a child's life. For many children, puberty blockers are the first step on a path towards further medical intervention and a lifetime of dependency on medication, often including permanent infertility. An 11-year-old cannot meaningfully consent to any of this. Raising the age by a year or two does not change the reality. This is why we are fighting on every front we can reach. Our legal challenge is still moving forward. I won't pretend it is a fast or easy process. Every time we take a step, the other side finds a new hurdle to throw in our path. But we have not stopped, and we will not stop. This case matters too much. We live under a government that claims it wants to protect children. They plan to ban young people from social media in the name of child safety, yet they are prepared to pump 11-year-olds full of harmful, experimental drugs and simply call it research. The contradiction should shock you, because it should shock all of us. At the same time, this same government is pushing ahead with its so-called conversion therapy ban, a law so broadly written that it could criminalise a parent or a counsellor for simply asking a struggling child gentle, honest questions about their body and their feelings. We see this contradiction clearly, even when others look away. We are not going anywhere. We will keep pressing our legal case. We will keep holding King's College and this government to account. And we will keep speaking up for children who deserve to grow up in their own time, in their own bodies, free from being treated as research subjects. Thank you, as always, for your continued support. It is what makes this work possible. All the best, Zuzana Revayova
