After a British court ruled that children under the age of 16 could not give informed consent to be prescribed puberty-blocking drugs, a well-known transgender activist suggested that all children should be put on such drugs until they are old enough to decide which gender they wish to be.According to the BBC, Keira Bell, 23, sued the British National Health Service’s Tavistock Center, “which runs the UK’s only gender-identity development service,” for putting her on puberty blockers at age 16 at her request. “She argued the clinic should have challenged her more over her decision to transition to a male as a teenager.”
