- "Pro" what? "Anti" what? What's the side that's taken, from your perspective? - I don't recall "puberty blockers are 100% reversible, they just buy time" being anywhere in the article, and IIRC the data on e.g. fertility impact is sparse
This is consistent with my understanding, which is that there really isn't much data. Small studies that look at children using medication to delay puberty to *the typical age range* should be considered v weak evidence that there are no long-term effects to delaying to e.g. 18

Seems way more likely to cause trouble w/ eggs vs. sperm. You don't get to make fresh gametes if ovaries are all you've got to work with; insofar as what you're doing might be damaging the eggs you have, it's damaging all the eggs you'll ever have

The picture the article paints, to my mind, is a really fractured medical community where there's not yet a consensus around the circumstances under which kids should be allowed to transition & what tools can be used for that before they're adults. Is that misleading?

IMO, if the "typical transition" for a child *is* only "puberty blockers and social transition," the piece is misleading. And if the trans community broadly endorses an approach that's more cautious than what some of the experts he's citing are worried about, good!
