      Curious why you think a PHYSICAL treatment, eg surgery, hormones, is the best cure for what you agree is a MENTAL disorder? Children who suffer from gender dysphoria should clearly be offered treatment. But psychological treatment, not surgery/hormones. Their bodies are healthy.

      Something tells me you are a) thankfully not a medical professional. b) hopefully not a parent.

      Disulfiram (antabuse) is arguably a physical treatment for a mental disorder, and there are certainly a number of physical interventions in other disorders that originate in the brain like epilepsy and Parkinson's.

      So you be cool with giving an anorexic weight loss surgery? Because you think pandering to the whims of someone who is mentally ill is best medical practice? I think that is unforgivable - and doubly so where a child is concerned.

      Replying to @CarolT52973604 @elliotreed and

      No, giving an anorexic weight loss surgery doesn't treat their dysphoria and carries a high risk of death, so it's ineffective and harmful as a medical treatment. If someone has depression and asks for an antidepressant "pandering to their whims" is good, same with transition.

      Yes, because antidepressants have been widely tested, & are likely to cause minimal harm. Zero surgery is involved and the effects are easily reversible. Transition on the other hand involves major surgery and untested hormones, the effects of which can never be fully reversed.

      Fluoxetine, the first SSRI, was introduced in 1987. Many antidepressants are still under patent, so they've only been introduced in the last few years and it's been impossible to know their long-term effects. HRT has been in widespread use for transition since the 70s.

      The sheer fucking chutzpah of these people saying antidepressants are older, safer, better tested and their mechanism of better understood than hormones (every single one of these is false)

      There are WAY more people in the world who have "permanently lost sexual function" due to being prescribed SSRIs than people who have done so by transitioning FFS And we still consider that an acceptable risk when weighed against depression and the possibility of suicide
