Of course not, they based it on that stupid cass review, naturally
Trans kids shouldn't be on puberty blockers at all. They should be given full hormone therapy at the same age their peers undergo puberty so they can have a normal development. Puberty blockers were meant to be the peace treaty. They were meant to be a compromise to hyperventilating cis people. And then they just went and demonized the compromise. I'm done.
Know a trans kid? It's your moral obligation to get them access to full hrt. Order it off the Internet and give it to them. It is your moral obligation to disobey evil and unjust laws. These laws have no more moral legitimacy than the Nazi anti-Jew laws. Anyone who respects and follows them is damned.
I agree they should be allowed puberty like everybody else, but puberty blockers of themselves aren't something bad. The bad thing is considering puberty blockers a full treatment.
They are a bad thing though. Not because of the horseshit FUD reasons transphobes say, but they are a bad thing. They're a necessary evil at best. Ideally every trans kid would go through puberty at the same age as their peers. Sometimes people aren't sure of themselves and need some additional time to think things through, but in an ideal world, people would figure this stuff out long before puberty even starts. Puberty blockers are a necessary evil, but in an ideal world, no one would be on them except kids who get very early precocious puberties.
Trans kids having to start puberty at 16, 17, or 18 is not a good outcome. Not when they're now years behind their peers developmentally. A trans girl should be able to get her first bra at the same age her cis female classmates do. A trans boy shouldn't have to go through the awkwardness of learning how to shave while in college. Trans kids should be able to have all the normal developmental experiences cis kids have, at the ages everyone else gets to. Today, sometimes puberty blockers cannot be avoided, but in an ideal world, puberty blockers would have no use at all in gender-affirming care.
I agree in an ideal world that would be the case, and i too believe it's worth working toward that ideal world. But unfortunately we are not there yet, hence my comment on puberty blockers themselves aren't a bad thing. I don't mind you seeing them a necessary evil, but i myself consider them more a necessary.
You're not wrong, but there's no longer any reason to even try and appease these people
Doesnt look that way :(
Agree completely with everything you said
Worst fucken time line
