    Yeah, also why can children consent to any medical treatment? Not dying of treatable conditions is altering their body, and that’s literally bad. I’m so smart and compassionate, I’m basically literally a doctor.

      They cant their parents can tho. Puberty blockers are not a life saving treatment they are physical only and thus just like plastic surgery shouldnt be given to kids. And no u cant argue they will kill themselves if they dont get treated there is plenty of peer reviewed papers proving that to be false.

          People like this are so ridiculous. They really don’t understand the concept of not being comfortable in your own body to the point that you don’t even want to live because your family and society in general disapprove of you being who you really are.

          Which is ridiculous because I’m cis and it’s not hard for me at all to understand that being given gender-affirming care would be pretty fucking helpful for kids who feel that way.

          Or rather either they don’t understand it or they don’t care because it’s “wrong.”

          Now thats a bad faith argument. I usually get banned for calling people an idiot or is that only cos my opinions are controversial?

            I’m not arguing with you. Your opinion is just wrong and irrelevant. Not understanding a medical treatment and wanting it banned because it makes you uncomfortable makes you a small minded, bad person. I hope you take the time to either reevaluate your life or go away.

            No, a bad faith argument would be using one study and a handful of doctors that aren’t specialists in the area that agrees with you versus the hundreds of studies and thousands of doctors that specialize in the area that don’t.

              His paper doesn’t even say what he wants it to say. It’s a super narrow finding that psychological care is still required along with blockers.

              As it stands im the only one who has provided any peer reviewed papers to back my point. Said study alsi happens to be a meta review so it reviews all the other papers and assesses them.

                I looked at your study, but all it showed was that there were no statistically significant side effects for puberty blockers, so what’s the problem?

                Also, no, it looked at 9 specific studies, not “all” studies. It’s conclusions are basically “We need more studies.”
