        you’re acting like this is some kind of new thing. it’s not. trans kids have already been using puberty blockers, and it’s been fine. it’s only new to people like you who didn’t care one way or the other about trans people until you were told they were on the wrong side of the culture war.

        I mean, they’ve been FDA approved since 1993, and in use in some place since the 80s.

        So literally 30 - 40 years, and nothing yet…

        Yes we do, you’re acting like this was never done before. We have people who have grown up after receiving gender affirming therapy and the outcome is so much better than the alternative (extremely high risk of suicide before they reach the age of majority) that the APA considers it irresponsible not to offer gender affirming therapy.
