Who else would puberty blockers be for?

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Probably people with a whole range of medical issues that get swept up in our government trying to hurt "the right people".

My understanding is they're also prescribed to delay very-early onset of puberty. Puberty has started, for some individuals, so young as to be giving birth at age 5. (in India, in that case.)

They have other applications aside from transitioning.

So, they are for minors.

Doesn't say who else would need puberty blockers other than a minor in those groups.

(removed hypothetical (and honestly disgusting) instance where of people over 18 would use them.)

That's one of the stupidest things I've read today.
