Story summary
- The Good Law Project reports 22 suicides among transgender youth in England in 2021-2022, about six times the prior year.
- The rise coincided with a ban on puberty blockers, which Health Secretary Wes Streeting extended after a review.
- Experts say the ban violates informed consent standards, as access to puberty blockers is now limited to a trial.
- The report notes data may be underestimated due to incomplete child death reviews.
