#i would beg little me to ask for puberty blockers becuase even if i wasnt trans i went through a hellish puberty

Every dipshit online who claims that they would never let their child start poverty blockers because of the "long term effects" and "they are too young to be making these decisions" does not actually understand puberty blockers and is just trying to pretend that their child is not trans and is just "going through a phase"

Puberty blockers do what they say on the tin, block puberty. It just gets put on pause while you figure our who you are as a person. You can always decide to go through your agab puberty later, thats what they are there for. If it is actually a phase, puberty blockers will be fine

Hell, even HRT is almost functionally reversible, the biggest thing that is not reversible on testosterone is the deepening of the voice

And, yes, I will acknowledge that there may be some adverse long term side affects of puberty blockers, but that's no different than literally any other physical treatment. And because it's something performed in children, the most dire issues (like bone density) are going to be monitored. Idk about you, but I'd rather have a short child with kinda shitty bones than a suicidal kid who refuses to tell me anything. But maybe that's just me

Another note is that puberty blockers aren't just handed out like candy. Your kid has to be openly trans for a while and actively seeking out transitioning for any doctor to consider giving it as an option

Stop denying your kids medical procedures because of your bigotry
