The announcement comes days after a massive mobilization of the LGBTQ+ collective in repudiation of President Javier Milei’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, during which he slammed “wokeism,” feminism and referred to homosexuals as “pedophiles.”

I did find this with the same numbers though
This citing of your sources is awesome
Puberty blockers aren’t a permanent change. Puberty is.
Does it really not mess with someone to not go through puberty at the right age?
It does, we cannot deny the facts
Bone density problems and weight gain can be side effects. Can also impact fertility. That said, going through puberty with gender dysmorphia seems like some body horror, and suicide is also not good for fertility.
Good point. Let’s allow delaying puberty until the brain otherwise matures.
We don’t deny children live saving medical help.

That’s what my parents told me when I said I was likely to kill myself without hormones. Needless to say, I got hormones and I am still here, but I will never get back the time I lost and I will never have the childhood socialization that I missed. I will never see my parents the same.
It haunts me a lot that I couldn’t have started at 15 because my parents wanted me to be “normal” and for them to not have hard conversations. This is also the reason they didn’t want me on anti-depressants even though I was massively depressed.
All this to say that maybe you should listen to doctors and trans people about why these things are necessary. Puberty blockers aren’t even permanent.
Fuck yourself.
Gender-affirming care saves lives.
Oh look, it’s a transphobe and dipshit who wants to take fluoride out of the water.
Get the fuck off Lemmy and go back to whatever social media cesspool you came from; literally no one wants you here.

You may say you’re not a transphobe, but you’re sure repeating a lot of transphobic points.
