This is why it's important to get a correct diagnosis before starting HRT.

Which is why people get prescribed puberty blockers as an interim solution: A solution not without its side-effects, but at least it keeps people alive.

They're getting it right in the vast majority of cases though. The proportion of people that want to de-transition is in the vicinity of 1%, and it looks to me like it's broadly improving with time.

Puberty blockers are not reversible. They are a god damn horror show.

Compared to hrt they're reversible.

Compared to the exorcist, they're more of a drug and less of a horror show.
