Let's see...

Right-wing rag, right-wing rag that has the phrase "Biblical truth" in its slogan, right-wing rag pushing vaccine conspiracies and transphobia on its front page, aaand... anti-trans hate group.

Your bias is showing.

My “bias” was literally go to google and search, then grab the ones that had studies and scientists/doctors backing them up. The NHS no longer says that puberty blockers are reversible. It doesn’t matter what site reports it, they’re reporting facts.

What I take from this is that you know they’re right, you just want to deflect because you have no actual response.

Nah, you just grabbed whatever shitty articles backed up your existing viewpoint because if you'd bothered to do any actual research you'd have seen that at worst there's a hell of a lot more nuance than the anti-trans bigotry you spewed all over the thread:

Oh, and please note that my sources are from official government sources and peer-reviewed journals, not transphobic right-wing rags that are pushing agendas.
