He specifically says this is getting around parents who will not put them on blockers because they will buy them (illegally) online. He admits that he knows they won't be monitored in his twitter feed. And these medications are NOT FDA approved for puberty blockade.

The article identifies that the problem is the cost of blockers. For many parents the cost of them, not covered by insurance, is why they won't let their children on them. Medications are prescribed for off-label uses all the time, the FDA allows it with at doctors' discretion.

I appreciate your attempt at reinterpretation, but no. If I had a teenager it wouldn't be "not letting" him buy a Mercedes because I couldn't afford it. It is CLEARLY intended to circumvent parental & medical oversight and thus is contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

You're getting all of this from one tweet that no one reading the article will see. If you're worried about children buying black market medicine, people writing literature reviews are not the problem. Nothing she wrote will help someone but drugs illegally.

If her article is irresponsible because of the information it contains, wouldn't you have to argue all published literature on the subject should be removed too? It's all just as accessible to a 12 year old.

I don't believe that you actually believe that. No one is THAT stupid.

You're the one making the claim that a list of links to and information on already available studies is somehow dangerous. I don't understand how you can argue this is bad but the information in the references is not just because you don't like the person writing it.

Directing children to purchase off label drugs off the internet without their parents' oversight (and thus, without medical oversight) is contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Which is not part of the fucking article. Have you still not bothered looking at it, or are you deliberately arguing in bad faith?

I looked at it and saw direct links to purchase. You have some nerve telling me I am arguing in "bad faith" when your overlord is telling kids "PSST" - "This can COMPLETELY CIRCUMVENT the 'my parents won't let me get on blockers' problem."
