Trans kids on puberty blockers maintain pretty stable bone density during a period when cis kids rapidly gain bone density.

This is just so *dishonest.* If there's evidence that puberty blockers reduce bone density relative to the gains expected, we should be figuring out whether kids catch up once they're either taken off of them or switched to hormones, whether the effect can be mitigated, etc.!

I'm sure I look anti-trans to some folks when I post this stuff, but I'm just ALARMED by the extent to which it seems like some researchers/clinicians feel a greater loyalty to the *current* transition process than to scientific rigor or actual trans people, including KIDS.

I mean, not talking about side effects is one thing — and a problem — but I think this is a step beyond, where the actual discussion within the research itself is actively misleading
