Endocrinologist recommended T at the *first appointment* with the 8-year-old female child. Why? Because prolonged use of Lupron can damage bones. And besides, the child would get to experience "early pubertal changes" similar to "other boys."pic.twitter.com/EWkoVZgmMD
It's "atypical" to start an 8-year-old female on testosterone, but the endocrinologist thought it would result in a "better outcome." Another commenter thinks T at 8 could be a good idea for "insistent, consistent, persistent" kids. (We're talking about a 2nd or 3rd grader here.)pic.twitter.com/1lsnz5yYb1
"No one wants their [8-y-old] kid to be first" to be researched, but Lupron is expensive & can cause bone issues if used too long, so... Dr. Olson-Kennedy's minimum age for cross-sex hormones is now 8 for her study; this family likely isn't the only one with a 2nd grader on T.pic.twitter.com/XuQbV1UXPS
I wonder if Olson-Kennedy running a similar clinic in the US is getting worried. I would. Only a matter of time.
They are all quack bonkers!
Yeah - accepting people for who they are, letting them date who they want to date. Totally linked to unnecessary medication of children...
