In a time when you're called an ignorant bigot if you discuss the pros & cons of pediatric transition, it's crucial to be accurate in your claims. Example: Some say puberty blockers sterilize kids. No, they do not. Blockers followed directly by cross-sex hormones sterilize.

I agree unlikely, but sterility is not guaranteed. Additionl drugs exist to stimulate the development. There is risk of overstating in everything. Sometimes the most important thing to say is,"we don't know, and nobody is studying it. We are conducting a live experiment on kids."

More than unlikely. There's a consensus that administration of cross sex hormones post-Tanner 2 blocking damages/prevents maturation of gametes. We also know blockers alone don't sterilize.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1223279249672396800 …

Ehrensaft: "If a child goes directly from puberty blockers to cross-sex hormones, they are forfeiting their fertility."https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7kqndq

I am extremely alarmed about fertility. But I think we can agree Ehrensaft is not someone whose opinion to look up too. Tagging again
@will_malone and @MLaidlawMD to chime in. I believe sterility is v. likely but not guaranteed (if CSH are stopped and additional drugs are used). - Show replies
