      Dude, read other sources. First you started with “Mutilating kids” and now you’re just mad at puberty blockers.

      Get out of here with your ignorant, transphobic, uneducated replies.

      You don’t even know what puberty blockers are, do you? You just know the made up claims conservative morons have been saying about them.

      Cisgender kids have been put on puberty blockers to treat disorders like precocious puberty for decades. We know the long term effects of the these drugs and they are minimal. Surgery is only an option for 16 year olds at the youngest and that’s only with the consent of both parents. All this outrage about “saving the children” is BS that is only manufactured to draw the uninformed over to the bigots cause. Every major medical association in the US and Europe has proven time and again that gender affirming care saves lives. Whether you’re just ignorant or a willfully hateful bigot I don’t know, but taking time to learn the actual facts of the matter would probably be a good idea.

      You realize that when someone stops taking puberty blockers that stops blocking puberty, right?

          Name that time. Go on. Please.

          Call everyone who doesn’t fit your make-believe timeline broken somehow.

          No, it means you don’t go through puberty then. Cisgendered kids are given them for condition like precocial puberty, and they go through it just fine when they’re no longer on the blockers.

          You’d understand these things if you bothered to examine any of this topic beyond shouting, “TRANS BAD!”

          And then their therapist will recommend gender affirming care, which may include puberty blockers :)

              How, exactly, is a therapist awful for giving sound medical advice? Keep in mind, you’re not qualified to say whether they’re a good idea. Neither am I. But the people who are haven’t found a problem.

          Therapy is there to help you live with who you are, not to convince you you are someone you aren’t.

      There wouldn’t be much point in giving them to people who’ve finished going through puberty. Speaking of points, I know you think you have one here, but it’s not very good.
