Puberty blockers are dangerous and should only be used in very rare situations, they should not be used because we have a school system focussed on telling boy's, "you are a boy, you are a danger to society" or irresponsible parents telling kids, "you were supposed to be a girl" filling kid's heads with BS information and making them feel like they are wrong for being a boy or a girl.
Now before anyone jumps down my throat, I know there are people who strongly feel and believe they are in the wrong body and there is some medical evidence to suggest that, it's a real thing and not a mental health issue but it's a very very very small number of the people who claim to be "trans" that actually, find themselves with the medical evidence to back it up.
People can say they are what they want, but kid's should be left the hell alone and allowed to grow up to become adults before making any decisions like that, which can do so much damage later on in life when they realise they were wrong, because there are a lot of who change their minds in later life.
Honestly I need to win the lottery and get out of this insanity filled island!! |
QFT.
Except that there is
absolutely no evidence whatsoever of anyone ever having been born in the wrong body. The claim that humans have a gender soul that is distinct from their physical body, and in some cases the gender soul and the physical body are different, is entirely metaphysical. It is a question for philosophers and theologians, not doctors.
People who truly believe that they are a sex other than their embodied reality are either porn-addled fetishists (mostly this is the cross-dressing men), trauma survivors (mostly young women) or gaslit, confused children with munchausen parents. In the middle are the tedious ‘nonbis’ who are generally attention seeking teenagers and young adults who will grow out of it if ignored.
Puberty blockers were designed for the treatment of precocious puberty in young children. They delay onset until the correct age, they are then withdrawn and puberty proceeds as normal, so the child has puberty and becomes a normally presenting adult. When you give puberty blockers to children who are of an age when they are *supposed* to be going through puberty, you cause irreparable damage to their normal physical development. You chemically castrate them and prevent them from developing normal adult bodies. As they grow older you then have to use plastic surgery to simulate adult genitalia in some way, but this does not repair the damage, especially in young girls who have their nascent breast tissue removed.
The detransition stories coming from the USA now - where the medicalisation of this madness got way further than it has here - are absolutely heartbreaking. I simply cannot believe how this batsh*t ideology has so infected supposed adults so badly that they’re allowing this irreversible experimentation on children. Bookmark this thread, because 10-15 years from now, that will be the scandal filling the airwaves, and the next generation of politicians will be the ones shaking their heads sadly and saying ‘if only we’d known’ and ‘never again’ and ‘lessons will be learned.’
