This wave of AFAB transitions that happened in the past decade has not been studied, the detransition information we have is largely from an older generation’s (mostly AMAB) transitions, I think that the numbers are going to be vastly different with this newer group

When there's evidence of that I will gladly take it seriously. Until then, I have no reason to believe in it.

There are Planned Parenthood clinics offering puberty blockers.

Oh no! Not a totally reversible drug that's been used in cisgender children for decades without anyone ever saying anything. You're a pediatrician, right? Have you ever prescribed puberty blockers to a child?

How long do you intend to try to twist every person's journey into what you think worked for you? Do you know what puberty blockers are approved for? Do you know the side effects that are known to go along with blockers? Do you know how long they are suggested to be given?

I know they don't turn kids trans if they're not turning the cis kids Julia almost certainly prescribed them to trans. And the cis kids Julia prescribed them too are almost certainly fine, health wise. I'm sorry, I just have no patience for this irrational scaremongering.

You have no idea how uncommon the use of puberty blockers in pediatrics has been. Tertiary referral center rare. Lots of side effects. Only used in extreme cases.

So you do or do not support using them in 'extreme cases'? Just to cut through the bs here, doctor? You think they should NEVER be used in minor children, or do you not think that?

If a 5 yr old girl is heading into full puberty, that’s an appropriate use. You would give them for 3-4 years. They would be inappropriate for an 8 yr old, and they are definitely inappropriate for girls past menarche.

Great! What physical- not social or psychological- issues does puberty cause to a 5 yr olds body that it doesn't cause to an 8 year olds?

Oh, related question- for this 5 yr old who you'd recommend blockers for, would you remove them swiftly at 8, or a more normative age for onset of menses like 10 or 11?

(assuming of course the child is tolerating them well, parent and child not eager for the child to start menses)
