Treating labor and puberty as disease processes is bad medicine, well said

Thoughtful therapy where up to 90 percent of people with dysphoria could learn to live happily in their own bodies without so much as a puberty blocker let alone cross sex hormones or irreversible surgeries.

So how the hell did any right minded person, let alone so called medical professionals fall for the insanity of affirmation therapy?

These people live in a fantasy world blind to the harms involved in gender care. They give experimental off label drugs to children as young as 9 while pretending they are safe and reversible. Despite puberty blockers well known side effects.

Early onset osteoporosis isn't safe or reversible. Recent reviews of data are now showing more people's mental health actually declined than improved. Depression is a known side effect, in fact the makers of lupron were sued in 2017 when they were also used off label in studies to increase height in short children. As well as osteoporosis and depression it was also linked to fibromyalgia and connective tissue problems not forgetting increased suicidal ideation.

These are children. They are not born in the wrong body and we need to start telling them that. You get one healthy body if you are lucky why would anyone recommend that you have to medicate and mutilate yourself to fit into society??

Why would they affirm cross sex hormones or irreversible surgeries without thorough therapy which includes telling people off the extreme risks they are playing with. Some surgeries carry up to 60% failure rates and cross sex hormones wreck havoc on people's bodies and mental health.

The madness needs to stop
