Despite ACLU win in lower court, an appeal by the state means transgender kids and their families will feel the devastating effects of the ban.

    Heres what we do for suicidal patients: we give them therapy and medication. So why is blocking puberty an exception? Because leftism is a cult?

    And my beliefs come from peer reviewed studies. Sorry you’re so anti-science, maybe you should rejoin the anti-vaxxers?

      What the flying fuck do you think puberty blockers are, you absolute necrosed gonad?

        The wrong medication, they block puberty. You want depression pills, SSRIs and the like.

          Puberty blocking is a form of therapy. Puberty blockers are a form of medication.

          Gender dysphoria isn’t depression (look up “comorbidity”; it’s a big word, so I’ll give you some time), you wouldn’t treat it with antidepressants. That’s like taking an antacid for a headache.

          “My beliefs come from peer reviewed studies” is such obvious horse shit. You didn’t read the studies I linked you to, clearly.

          This conversation is done until you can prove to me that you’ve read and understood the studies provided to you. Since, y’know, that’s what your beliefs are supposedly based on. You can prove me wrong whenever.

            Suicide comes from depression (or severe psychosis and a few others, but that’s getting on a tangent)

            You don’t treat SI with changing the body. You fix the mind (or at least the hormones)

              Again, puberty blockers are not treating depression. They’re treating gender dysphoria in this example. I can tell you still don’t know what “comorbidity” means.

              In your expert medical opinion, how do you think gender dysphoria is treated? Here’s a hint: It’s described in the articles you still haven’t read.
