    Puberty blockers are also given to non-trans kids and have been since they were invented without many reported ill effects.

    The general effects are not irreversible. As with all medications there can be extreme side effects for certain individuals that are irreversible, but this is far from the typical experience.

    Regarding the Puberty blockers and/or HRT for minors discussion. My only singular concern if I were a parent would be if my kid has something done that has nonreversable effects and later realizes they are gender fluid or somewhere in the middle of the gender spectrum as they mature and learn more about themselves in their late teens/early 20's. But also I admit for as much I was want to be an ally and want to learn, I am still kind of an idiot about this stuff because I am cis and there is stuff I still don't understand. I would want my kid to talk to an expert and have also them meet and talk to older adult trans people before anything.

    You don’t permanently alter anything with puberty blockers. Once you stop, puberty in either direction sets in. Saying otherwise is just plain misinformation. And once again, forcing anyone to go through the wrong puberty is cruel as fuck.

    Study finds use of puberty blockers safe and reversible, countering anti-trans accusations

    Yeah this definitely reads as "we are going to put the homeless into camps", but I could understand a dumb person reading that headline and being like " oh that is bold and radical like Hamsterdam in The Wire! "

    Yeah I had a friend that dropped out of college because he got a job at a Tesla dealership. He was mainly in it for the stock options.

    I wonder how Trump WH is going to deal with SA's recent realignment towards Iran and China, and away from Israel after China brokered that deal earlier this year. A lot of Americans don't know about this massive geopolitical shift yet.

    I think MBS knows he has to make moves as pro Palestinian sentiments in the kingdom is a threat to Royal rule.
