Treatment for gender dysphoria aims to help people live the way they want to, in their preferred gender identity or as non-binary.

Some young trans, intersex, and gender non-binary people may decide to take puberty blockers after talking about it with their parents or guardian and a nurse or doctor.

Well, I agree that gender roles are stupid and every male or female should have similar challenges and changes in live. But I disagree that we forbid people to so with their bodies what they want, I think that is just as stupid as gender roles.

Depending puberty blockers, doesn’t it make sense to put this livelong change coming on hold, if a kid does not feel ready for it, so that the kid has more time to decide ? I mean it is not like we give them blockers away like smarties. And we not ask just any kid if they want those, kids that need those have clear traits.

Did your kid take those blockers?
