I wasn't talking about politicians, it is medical experts who have driven this decision in the health authorities I was referring to - e.g. England, Sweden, Finland.

This is from applying an evidence-based medicine approach to this. The political side of things is yet another matter.

The health authorities of several European countries have halted the routine use of puberty blockers for gender dysphoric children, due to a lack of evidence that this intervention helps rather than harms.

This does not imply that puberty blockers are an appropriate intervention for children presenting with gender dysphoria though.

The health authorities of several European countries, including England, Sweden, Finland and France, have halted or severely restricted the routine use of puberty blockers in gender dysphoric youth, due to the lack of evidence that this is actually helping and not harming these patients.

Though, this definition apparently does not apply to marginalized women, when they object to males demanding access to women-only spaces.

Neither are human rights violations.
