Comment on Puberty Blockers Temporarily Slow Bone Growth, Recovery Seen With Hormone Therap
astropenguin5@lemmy.world 15 hours agoOk but also puberty happens well before the brain is even mostly formed properly. I’m kinda ok with giving kids time to make life altering decisions. Imo puberty blockers should be given to anyone even questioning their gender that wants them, so they have time to explore and choose before they have the ‘wrong’ puberty.
Most children have established gender dysphoria by 7 years. We don’t need to wait until we have a “mostly properly formed brain” to understand ourselves on one of the most basic levels.

Fair, tbh I’m not the most educated on this subject.
Really at the end of the day it should just be down to the person/child and their doctor. And puberty blockers should be an available option. There’s so many different situations we really shouldn’t be making blanket statements anyway
