And yet, Lupron has been used since the 1970's to treat precocious puberty and every single ban on using it for gender affirming care still allows it to be administered for that purpose. Medical associations also approve its use, in both cases.
When the people against it are only against it for one group of people, and doctors by and large disagree with them, it makes me suspicious that their motives are not based in concern for health and instead are based on personal feelings that are being projected onto an external cause.
- somedude895 3y ago> only against it for one group of people People aren't against any group of people, they're against administering a damaging and potentially life-ruining treatment to perfectly healthy children.
- TRiG_Ireland 3y agoYou're perfectly happy to give it to cis kids, but not to trans ones. Why?
- theprincess 3y agoChildren with gender dysphoria are not "perfectly healthy." They have a serious problem. The level of hubris in assuming that all these heterosexual parents, many of them conservative, would just up and decide to "trans" their kids is outstanding. Whatever makes people trans is immutable. Every possible way has been tried to "fix" them, by making them happy as their assigned sex. All the attempts just led to broken people, many of whom killed themselves. The gall to just insert yourself into the lives of these kids and their families, without understanding their struggles or knowing them, and trying to take away the one proven path to them having a happy successful life is really something to behold.
