You are spreading lies. I hope it’s unintentional.
Minors are not getting gender surgery and the few that get access to anything hormonal are not offered anything irreversible.
Equating “story time” with adult burlesque is just simple bigotry. Someone dressing up as a princess to read a story to kids isn’t burlesque, regardless of their gender.
How do you know story time is lead by burlesque performers? And how would you know if a woman in the library reading to kids is not also a night performer? You are the one making that connection. Gender and gendered clothing are not sex. The reason they are making a big deal out drag story time is to associate cross-dressing with sexual performance (i.e., inappropriate for kids). Why, you ask? So that the mere existence of trans women in our communities can be considered inappropriate.
Well, I’m no medical professional, but medical professionals have been prescribing puberty blockers for other things for decades, and if they were as dangerous as all that, then you’d think the FDA would have banned that by now.
Besides which, access to treatments like those ones are documented to reduce rates of self-harm, including suicide, among kids with gender dysphoria. And if your metric is the body turning out like it would have without these treatments, well, I hope I don’t need to fill in the blank for you.
More than suicide yes, but the science is not there to be able to say its basically reversible.
It will have an effect being without sex hormones during when you should have started puberty.
Im not against the treatment, it just sounds ridicolous to say its will have no impact on your boodys development.
Wait, did I misunderstand you the whole time? Are you actually saying that the problem with puberty blockers is that they block puberty? Did you somehow miss where that’s literally the entire point of them?
Also, repeating the same claim you just made again while ignoring the authoritative source I just provided that contradicts it is some shit I see creationists doing. Not a good look. If you support trans people, like you say in your next comment, then why are you arguing this in the same way someone who doesn’t support trans people would?
Those are rational concerns. They really are. And these are all concerns that a physician could address when talking to their patients who might be starting to question their gender. And that’s how it should stay.
All that to say that unless you are a trained physician, or are an adult experiencing gender dysphoria, or are the parent of a child experiencing it, it’s none of your business. Trans people exist. Let them exist peacefully.
We live in an age where we have countless information at our fingertips. Google scholar is literally a browser click away. If they don’t like social media answers from individuals because they’re too rude then they should do their own research, on their own time, instead of complaining about the quality of free labor from a minority group that is constantly forced to justify their existence ALL the time. 🤷♂️
That’s not fair to OP. He didn’t complain about the answers anywhere. I’m just suggesting to folks here that maybe you’d reach more people if you didn’t imply that anyone who asks a question is either stupid or malicious.
It doesn’t seem too crazy to me to say that someone should be able to enter a conversation and say they don’t know something without being attacked.
The whole point is to give educated information to children/teenagers. If one goes to the counselor and tells that they think they might be trans, the school will give proper information about it.
People act as if drugs are being given in lunch time to the kids.

So delaying or stopping puberty, for how long? your body will turn out exactly like if you had not delayed/stopped hormones?

Yeah that is good for them. It just seems wrong to say its reversible.
They’re more reversible than suicide.
But sure, I hear you, that doesn’t actually answer the question. So here’s an authoritative source on the matter. To drastically hyper-over-simplify, they basically are.

Why do you think im against trans people? Im not, the poster above complained about missinfo while saying its fully reversrble.
If you want to know those things, educate yourself. I recommend google scholar.

This is a pretty rude answer to someone admitting they don’t know much about a subject.

OK now I now you’re trolling. Where did I attack the person I was responding to? This is just manufactured drama, how very reddit of you.
