What are you afraid of?

The cooties might rub off.

The things that scare people and why is a fascinating topic.

Puberty blocker - Wikipedia

Virtually every European country allows trans blockers under 18, as do Chile, Australia, and Japan.

Wrong again. Over and over. And over. And over. Why can't you google before you type?

The trend is toward disallowing...

The UK is the latest country to ban puberty blockers for trans kids. Why is Europe restricting them?

.....
A handful of European countries – such as Sweden, Denmark, and France – have also moved to limit their use to research settings or in exceptional circumstances, amid intense medical debate over how to care for the growing number of children who identify with a gender other than their biological sex.

“We've shifted into a direction saying if we're going to stop normal puberty in certain young people, then we need to do it with our eyes open [and] collect the data very carefully,” Dr Ashley Grossman, emeritus professor of endocrinology at the University of Oxford, told Euronews Health.

Why Western Europe is rolling back access to puberty blockers

Several countries have restricted the use of puberty blockers, citing insufficient evidence on their benefits for gender-questioning youth and potential long-term effects.

I feel bad for the lady who appears to be out shopping and will now forever be grouped in with those morons.

One country is not a trend.

There isn't anyone in this country who would oppose more data gathering. I'd love more research. But you can't do more research if nobody is getting the treatment, right?

That's also addressed in the linked story:

The Chinese gymnastics team will be crushed.

Physicians should be making these decisions based on the data and outcomes. Everyone else, especially politicians, should stay the hell out of the way.

I don't think it's good to use unsuspecting children as clinical trials.

 

[farce©]

UNC-A, left wing leaning or not perhaps understands the difference in male and female. Absolutely absurd the idea that someone could send their daughter to college and she winds up forced to room with a male that thinks he is a female, or pretending to be a female, or whatever the case may be. Thing 20 years ago that were inconceivable and the plot of a silly south park episode are becoming reality.

Further proof you have no clue what you are talking about.

Unsuspecting??

Unsuspecting??

Yes. When you receive medicine/treatment/advice from a doctor, you assume that it's well researched and known to be safe.

Your statement was about clinical trials not an annual physical. . I'm sure that one involved in a clinical trial cannot be unsuspecting of what they are involved in, what is being studied, and the risk associated.

My statement was related to the fact that there haven't been any clinical trials regarding children, gender dysphoria and the use of puberty blockers. Doctors just kind of started doing it.

Things have changed since your halcyon days of the syphilis experiments at Tuskegee. Now you have to have informed consent to participate in trials including a lot of documentation from patient and doctors. I remember all the stuff my wife went through years ago with HRT trials revolving around early menopause.
