I see you’ve got your little bit of screen time so you’re back on your rants. When the world continues to spin and you are the minority, will you be one of the ones to change your views? Will you be the coward who holds his bigotries in silence? Or the vocal minority that rails against the coming of the light and is seen by all as the impotent creature of hate that you would be?
Chemo isn’t experimental though. There are experimental types of cancer treatments and guess what? They go through years and years of trials and tests. You know what hasn’t done that? Puberty blockers.
I’ll agree that, legally and medically, use of puberty blockers as treatment for gender dysphoria is “experimental”, on the grounds that those drugs are not approved for that specific condition.
However, the drugs have long history of approved usage, so “experimenting on our kids” is twisting the truth. That phrase carries a lot of freight. It’s lying.
The drugs have been used to delay puberty until the child is the expected age to go through puberty, not to block puberty indefinitely. They might give them to a 5 year old who starts puberty to delay their puberty until they’re 10 or whatever the age is. That’s vastly different from giving them to a 13 year old and having them stay on them till 18 at which time they take cross sex hormones and get surgery.
One of those approved uses is chemical castration btw.
I did not lie. You said it yourself - their use for “gender dysphoria” Is experimental. The long term effects are unknown, but we already know of some terrible permanent side effects and we know they’re not fully reversible.
Technically, you didn’t lie. You just chose the most freighted language possible, and omitted the context that undermines your point (viz, that these drugs are approved for other uses).
Then, bringing up permanent side effects, you omitted the permanent harm caused by not administering treatment. Because that harm happens to people you don’t like.
This isn’t a debate, it’s you tubthumping against my friends. Fuck you for using children as a weapon.
There is no permanent harm by not using puberty blockers.
A drug being approved for one use doesn’t mean it’s safe to use for other uses. It isn’t approved for “gender dysphoria” because it hasn’t gone through the rigorous testing needed for approval. Doctors prescribing it are literally using the kids as test subjects. Thats unethical and disgusting.
Because that harm happens to people you don’t like
What’s happening however is:
“Maybe don’t experiment on children by giving them irreversible puberty blockers and surgeries”
“Transphobe!!! Bigot! Die fucking Terf nazi!!!”

Place your bets.
Great fantasies and what ifs! Really making a good point 😂
When you’re dying of cancer, we won’t experiment on you with chemo either. Fair?

Oh, the FDA turned a blind eye, did they?
The FDA has not approved puberty blockers for use in transgender kids.
As just happened with Ivermectin and Covid, the fda can’t stop doctors from prescribing it for off-brand usage.

Stop making things up.
