2020 US Presidential Election

thanks, thats all i wanted, i do the same thing (its a bad habit i gotta break but fuck i hate reading sometimes) so can you point out why children shouldn't be on hormone blockers even if a psychiatrist says the child shows dysphoria symptoms?

i did, so can you tell me why its wrong? or are you gonna dance around it because your going off an emotional response and don't have a real, factual argument to counter with?

some reading if you actually wanna be educated on this topic https://www.stlouischildrens.org/conditions-treatments/transgender-center/puberty-blockers#:~:text=Puberty%20blockers%20alone%20should%20not,fertility%2C%20but%20hormone%20therapy%20can. then you can get back to me with a response that isn't 'read your own comment'

At What Age Can You Start Taking Puberty Blockers? Because every child is different, there isn’t a single best age to begin puberty blockers. In general, starting puberty blockers in early puberty leads to better outcomes and prevents the lifelong difficulties that can result from living with undesired sex characteristics. While they can stop puberty from progressing, however, blockers can’t reverse changes that have already happened. Are Puberty Blockers Permanent? No, puberty blockers are temporary: Injectable blockers (such as Lupron) can last one, three or six months. Patients can continue getting injections until they decide what to do next. Implants (such Supprelin), which are placed just under the skin in the arm, can last 12 to 24 months before they need to be replaced. Both types are meant to give patients more time to consider their options: If your child decides to continue transitioning, they will likely want to consider hormone therapy and possibly gender affirming surgery. If your child decides that they want to develop characteristics of the sex they were assigned at birth, they can simply stop taking puberty blockers. Once the puberty blockers are out of their system, they’ll go through the puberty of the sex assigned at birth. Puberty blockers alone should not affect your child’s fertility, but hormone therapy can.

it also has less side effects than birth control Possible short-term side effects of puberty blockers Headache, fatigue, insomnia and muscle aches. Changes in weight, mood or breast tissue. Spotting or irregular periods (in menstruating patients whose periods are not completely suppressed by puberty blockers).

i put the evidence out there that hormone blockers have 0 long lasting effects and that a child can stop treatment at anytime and continue/start their puberty like any other normal kid cero has not read anything i posted and is defending his feelings based argument with 'its bad because its bad' circular logic
