Everything has side effects… It’s not your position to say weather they’re worth it or not.

All the research shows quality of life increasing with gender affirming care. So, you’re suggesting that a temporary delay in bone growth is worth a long term reduction in quality of life…

That’s the beauty of science, it’s self improving…

This article specifically, is a meta review of studies that have already been available and all experts in the field should already know (I’m no expert and I’ve known about this for years) that puberty blockers do this. As with pretty much everything anyone does, there’s always a cost and a benefit and you should always weigh them up carefully with big life altering decisions. For people with gender dysphoria some delayed bone growth is no big deal compared to being allowed to be themselves.

Looks like you have no idea what gender dysphoria is or what the current science says about handling it.

We were unable to study more refined and nuanced measures that may be more affected by GLP-1 use such as self-esteem, locus of control, happiness, relationship status other than marital status and relationship satisfaction

Looks like there’s some big gaps in this study, so more research is needed. Anecdotally I’m sure it’s been helping my mental health and self esteem.

That’s interesting. I think sometimes I can visualise something quite well, but most of the time it feels more like what you’re describing.
