That’s the sad thing here—puberty blockers give kids, their families, and their healthcare provider time to figure things out before the permanent changes of a dysphoric puberty.
And puberty blockers have been used for decades for cis-kids without any controversy—but for trans kids—apparently that’s a bridge too far.
The Cass report found exactly what it was commissioned to find, and misrepresents the research.
The science is clear, gender-affirming care saves lives.

I'm glad it's the right decision for them. Transition regret is real though, so ignoring it isn't good. But even asking questions to educate myself gets me downvoted, so it's no wonder people don't want to ask or learn
Edit: so again, even asking questions and trying to learn gets you downvoted. No wonder you guys can't win people to your side

I guess that one percent can go fuck itself and die according to you guys
Knee replacement regret is real and much higher than transition regret. Ban knee replacements!
Nobody is saying to ban it you extremist, why don't you understand nuance? Are you so one dimensional?

So by your logic, the people who do have regret should be forced to stay in their gender, hide and not be allowed to detransiton. Making you the thing you hate, a transphobe.
