What a pos. nobody is “pushing” these medicines on kids. it’s ultimately the kid’s decision about whether they want these medications or not and I’m not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.
Happy Pride Month ❤️
Honest answer: the drugs are being used off-label. It’s not even experimental, it’s basically a wildcat way of using them. An experiment would involve control groups and a double-blind trial, among other things.
I’m saying this because this is what rightoids are saying as criticism and you need to be able to counter that with facts. Right now, there just isn’t enough information and that’s what they’re capitalizing on.
40 years of using hormone blockers for precocious puberty. “Not enough info.” Fuck the whole way off.
No. The data is fine. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
This is the exact opposite of what the reports out of the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, etc. are saying. They’re all very seriously restricting their youth transitioning clinics because the quality of the available data is so poor it cannot be relied on. Beyond the replicability crisis, there are ideological actors on both sides making absolutely junk studies.
Hence the need for proper experimental data.
What’s the regret rate for gender affirming care?
Thanks you. I like to know where to prepare to argue from. I appreciate you and how you tried to communicate your intention.
I want the strongest possible set of information for this and any other question so we can make informed decisions. Right now there are more questions than answers.
It’s just like intelligent design and the “god of the gaps” arguments, where the space God/gods could have done their work slowly shrinks as our understanding of the world around us improves. I have no clue if we’ll ever close all the gaps, but every time intelligent design takes a hit, more people jump ship.
