What a pos. nobody is "pushing" these medicines on kids. it's ultimately the kid's decision about whether they want these medications or not and I'm not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.

Happy Pride Month ❤️

Honest answer: the drugs are being used off-label. It's not even experimental, it's basically a wildcat way of using them. An experiment would involve control groups and a double-blind trial, among other things.

I'm saying this because this is what rightoids are saying as criticism and you need to be able to counter that with facts. Right now, there just isn't enough information and that's what they're capitalizing on.

40 years of using hormone blockers for precocious puberty. "Not enough info." Fuck the whole way off.

double-blind trial

No. The data is fine. It doesn't need to be perfect.

Thanks you. I like to know where to prepare to argue from. I appreciate you and how you tried to communicate your intention.
