"Trans teenagers that want to transition are going to need puberty blockers"
From a medical perspective and from a psychological perspective I am not sure puberty blockers are a good option for teens.
Again I would argue most teens do not have a full identity even formulated and may experiment with different gender, identity and or sexual roles.
Is it in a patients best interest to "block" puberty?
- gizmo 4y agoIt is in their best interest because puberty blockers are harmless and this gives the child more time to figure out what they want. If they want to go ahead with transitioning they can take the appropriate hormones when they're ready. If they change their mind and don't want to transition anymore no harm is done. Maybe you were under the impression that puberty blockers have permanent effects? Puberty blockers just give children extra time to figure out what they want, and it sounds like you agree that's a good thing.
