Yeah, the Republicans like to tell doctors how to practice medicine, people how to live their lives.

Children are not developmentally able to understand the consequences of serious medical decisions. Puberty blockers cause a host of medical problems (e.g. osteoporosis). 80% of trans-identified adolescents will eventually desist if left alone (not put on the trans bus). Over 60% are children who will later identify as LGB. Transing of adolescnets represents an erasure of lesbians and gay men.

That's another one of my problems with allowing kids to medically transition: it impairs their ability to know if they're trans or just going through a phase.

That’s the whole point of puberty blockers. No one is giving them cross-sex hormones right away.

Puberty is not a disease.

And you're not a lesbian.

Male puberty is. And you will never be in a woman.

Male puberty is just as natural as female puberty, and shame on you for suggesting otherwise.

Lol! I turned out alright bro. It's survivable. Transgenderism less so.

Puberty blockers stop the mind developing so they can't ever work out who they are.

They basically trap people in an adolescent mind as well as body.

It's not just the obvious things which change during puberty, your way of thinking does too.

This is why puberty blockers give a drop in IQ of up to 10 points.

Puberty blockers stop your body from developing at a critical window. It's not like it hits the pause button and then you can go back to it later. You've got to use those hormones your body's making or lose them forever.

lol, you have no idea how they work. That much is obvious.

This is what happens when scientists aren't the ones making the legislation.

Whatever you say, "lady".

Lupron hurts kids just like testosterone and estrogen do. And the evidence that for most kids it was doing so for nothing has been there all along. Surprise surprise, the same drug that we were using to chemically castrate sex offenders, and that was also already shown to cause muscoskeletal issues when given to kids to block precocious puberty, is also turning out to cause the same problems when it's given to kids to block regular puberty.

The only reason western society is going through this phase right now is because wealthy/influential autogynephilic men, with the support of the alphabet lobby that needs a new justification for their existence since Obergefell, are now pushing the "trans children" narrative to obfuscate the fetishistic roots of their motivation to "transition".

Bruce Jenner famously got caught by one of his teen daughters trying on her clothes before he was "out". When she told the family about it, he told the family he was a liar. Now he's out telling people that there is no meaningful difference between male and female athletes, and also pushing the trans child narrative.

The "trans child" narrative has always been a farce. And now, it is being exposed as such.

The whole point of puberty blockers is to stunt their growth.

Btw, are you trans too?

And teenagers are not children.
