Scotland's only clinic that provides gender-related services for children has halted its practice of prescribing puberty blockers, the Guardian reports.
Scotland's National Health Service last month banned the use of puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria in children, citing there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of such treatments.
Sexualford Health Services announced on Thursday it would halt referrals for puberty suppressing hormones.
The clinic's decision came a week after the publication of a National Health Service-commissioned report, the Cass Review, that found unclear reasoning behind early puberty suppression, as well as weak evidence regarding its impact on gender dysphoria and mental health.Transgender minors will not be able to start receiving gender-affirming hormone treatment until they are 18 years old, although patients already undergoing it can continue uninterrupted.
The report stated medical procedures were not the best ways to manage most minors' gender-related distress, adding mental health care must factor into treatment options.
"We want every child or young person to get the individualized care that's right for them at the time that's right for them," Scottish Trans says.
"We don't think this decision will make that possible."
