Idk what a puberty blocker but I wanna say hell to it, regardless of your sexual identity.

I think this is safer. Can children really consent to this?
Sounds like common sense no?
To not do that “routinely”
How is this even controversial? God we are doomed
Glad this monstrous social experiment is finally coming to an end.

I dont know what that is
There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding about what these medications actually are, and what they actually do.
They do not cause transitioning. They do not cause masculinisation or feminisation. They do not have major permanent effects.
They delay the onset of puberty, mimicking some natural conditions of delayed puberty. The intent is to postpone permanent physiological changes in puberty, giving the adolescent more time to come to terms with who they are. If when they reach adulthood they want to go through their typical puberty, they do, on the other hand they can also choose to go through transitioning *when they are an adult*.
I’d also take issue with the use of the word ‘routine’. These assessments took upwards of a year and double digit numbers of appointments.
ITT: People who don’t know what puberty-blockers are, who also don’t care to learn about what they do and why they’re used.
I swear, there’s some weird shit in these comments. I know several trans people, including some offline. They’re literally just normal people who want to live their lives.
Eh.. why would they offer puperty blockers for minors in the first place?
Fucking finally.
The fact that this is still a thing in many countries is astounding. Children can’t give consent.
Good
Wish I was able to get puberty blockers during much puberty.
Good
Taking anything that messes with your hormones as a child is horrible for you, am worried about the well being of those that depend on it though
Good
When trans youth suicide rates skyrocket, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
The game’s up, TRAs. You won’t be sterilising children much longer now.
That is good news.
Biggest crime in 2023
Good
Let kids be kids , and fuck the predditors who think otherwise
Talk about moving backwards.
If you’re going to ban something, at least provide a reason, not cite a “study that is planned to be out in 2024”
humans have an obsession with fucking drugs
I know it’s anecdotal, but the trans kids my daughter knows are not stable at all, changing names, gender (first want to be female, then male again) and show all kinds of issues (self harm, aggression). I get the impression they are more lost than others their age and they are not capable of consenting at all.
Finally
Gross.
good
That’s very smart. Hope other countries follow.
I’m not sure why this is even an issue. I mean what are we talking? Something that impacts 0.01% of the population?
Why call it puberty blockers, call it what it is chemical castration.

They are suggesting the same in Norway.

It’s the same drug they used to give pedophiles.
Sanity apparently needs to be enforced. Good.
