I had a comment here but the other response covered it better... basically, the reversibility of hormone-blocking on a rapidly-changing, rapidly-growing brain and body responding to said hormones are not nearly as possible as you think.
I'm not saying it might not result in some interesting people that might have interesting perspectives on things that might contribute to society positively; just saying that a "complete undo" is strictly incorrect
- DanBC 7y agoI notice you don't mention any other medication used in children. You only speak about meds used by trans children. Your concern about medication side effects would appear more genuine if you also mentioned the range of medication used by all children where we don't know the mechanism of action nor the long term side effects. This dishonesty, BTW, is why people don't bother discussing it with you.
- pmarreck 7y agoJust because I didn't also mention the range of medication used by all children does not mean I would not promote exercising (extreme) caution there, too! In fact I believe administering ADD drugs to anyone below 18 should only be resorted to in the most extreme circumstances. Not mentioning it doesn't mean I don't believe it as well and doesn't mean I'm being dishonest. It just means I omitted it. My worldview is as internally-consistent as I can make it!!
