Hey innocent ten year old girls...

Can I interest you in some deodorant for your foul smelling armpits?

A sharp razor for the constant chore of shaving a large chunk of your body?

A little rag or cup you can shove up your hoo-ha to catch the disgusting blood you're going to be spewing out every month for decades?

No?

How about a little pill that will make all that go away forever?

As a fromer ten year old girl, and a now 31 year old woman, I can confirm that puberty didn't suck for me. I dunno if I was special or what, but all kids of both sexes gor stanky pits, and hair, and shaving is optional for society beauty standards, but deodorants are non-negotiable (damn stinky ass teenagers).

As for the blood? Shit it wasn't a big deal, its just life for a female, and you get used to it quick, and when you're old enough you can get a form of BC that works for you, I currently have the implanon implant in my arm after having my baby, and I legit haven't bled since I gave birth. 10/10 would recommend.

Hopefully you weren't a special case. But the first detransitioner I paid attention to pointed to a complete lack of sex ed from her parents, crippling periods, and a Tarantino movie's worth of blood as the origin of her dysphoria. And my sister was inconsolable at her first period.

It shouldn't be a "problem" to grow up. But this pamphlet just seemed laughably like an advertisement to me. If you had no trouble with puberty, it may come across as convincing as an informercial insert bad actor ineptly dropping dishes here but it still seems like it's selling puberty blockers by framing them against items that are at best a chore to use. It also makes it seem like they are an option for 100% of the population. As if they are telling kids they could use pads, a tampon, or puberty blockers. Personal preference. Maybe try all three and figure out which works best for you...
