“Many people” being substantially in the minority, like 1-5% of an already microscopic population. Non-surgical puberty blockers are completely reversible and do not sterilize. Please don’t spread irrelevant, hateful flamewar bait and FUD in random threads as a way to Cunningham yourself out of ignorance.

> Non-surgical puberty blockers are completely reversible and do not sterilize. This is also an ideological stance. Please see https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2121238 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2... for an evidence-based review that contests this. Edit: I'm not permitted to reply to the comment below, but I would like to point out that it's a rather shallow dismissal of a well-researched paper. I would recommend actually reading the whole paper, at the very least to challenge one's preconceptions on this issue. Personally, I find such challenge to be an intellectually stimulating experience.

  The blockers themselves are reversible. The treatments that may follow are not necessarily reversible. Do you really expect to simply point at a single-author paper that came out last week to “win” this discussion? Why the hour-old account focused purely on promoting trans hate?

  This paper casts doubt on the current evidence for "completely reversible" as well as their efficacy without really providing evidence of the opposite. I would invite you to read further studies showing that puberty blockers are safe, reversible, and extremely important to trans youth's health: - https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.01.20241653v1.full https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.01.20241653v... - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306453015000943?casa_token=cs2uTv6X96cAAAAA%3AfBmY27NAacdJ46piKDy0-4_zo3X8js_FBbwtEMlb3lsUxsW2nBjuClD799vpbZm1oq20YvGfNIU https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03064... - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2017.00528/full https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2017.0052... For example. There's definitely still studies to be done, but there is good evidence that puberty blockers are safe and reversible that this author seems to have missed
