A brave doctor speaks out: "Dr Griffin revealed she is not the only doctor worried about the ease with which young patients can get transgender meds. But she said many other medical staff are ‘running scared’ because they fear accusations of bigotry." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5642577/NHS-sex-change-drugs-putting-hundreds-children-risk-year.html …

Can any of you put yourselves in our place or even try to understand we would have givin anything not to have developed secondary charactersistics when puberty started. I understand that you think you are protecting kids but you are really hurting them

Indeed, I respect your perspective. But consider, puberty blockers & cross sex hormones have consequences which are unknown, & will probably be dire. No child can really make an informed decision.

^^ That's what the article says about blockers. Children can't get HRT. And I'd like to add I'd have given anything to have had that option. I then wouldn't need surgery to feel comfortable in my own skin.

Underage kids are given cross sex hormones after a period of hormone blockers. The result is that they are sterilised and their sex organs shrink away.

There are many trans people who have biological kids and even carry them after being on HRT. You don't become sterile as soon as you take them, much as the Mail would like us to believe it.

.@Alex_Toddy Puberty blockers followed directly by cross-sex hormones permanently sterilizes youth who haven't undergone natal puberty. This is not controversial, and is very different from ADULT trans people who transition after puberty. Maturation of gametes requires puberty.pic.twitter.com/UimLbJjxOa
