    Well duh, you need to give those kids actual HRT to help them. Of course puberty blockers aren’t enough !

    I always wonder when people transition very young, I’m 40 now and I have felt many different ways throughout my life, and it changes every 10 years. I would be scared to make such a big decision at that age. Good for them if they know what they want for life but 20 year old me was convinced he was gay, but I’m not and know that I’m 40 I have zero attraction to men when I was very bisexual in my be 30s. Anyways. Humans are weird that way.

    Good job they actually did a review into this. Rather than just setting a narrative and going with it, even silencing doctors that have alternative views.

    uhhh read the sentence again. slowly.

    if I understand correctly there’s no point in prescribing them to adults right? like irrc puberty does continue till like 18 or 19 somethines but it’s probably already too late at that point?
