Do you know that puberty blockers were given to short males to stop the bones fusing too early? It allows them to be taller.
For girls it is for precocious puberty- and that stops fusion for them as well- though for most doctors, having an 8yo girl with a period is something puberty blockers can help to wait until 10yrs. Not too much concern for height there.
For the new use of it longer term til hormone therapy? Insane. And the data of adverse outcomes is coming in fast...but not welcomed to the advocates for access to early transitions.
I expect a lot of tall transwomen with micro penises in the coming years suing the hell out of their doctors. No penis, no vagina. Cant make a vagina out of a penis that has not grown.
And the girls without breasts and infertile might have some rage about that. As is starting. Tick tock.
They knew, and they still prescribed the drug knowing it was not for a short break to correct early puberty. No excuse.
"Safe and reversible"? No, it isnt. Even in a best case, a kid will never become what they would have been on reversal, physically (not to mention mentally).
But after all, they still say regret is less than 1%, so why not do it for the greater good!
Anyone here believe that?
