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.

You know, when the kids go off to school there is a good chance that they do lots of crazy things that you really don't want to know about. Unless you believe that a trans female roommate is going to be a physical threat to them, what is the concern? I recall seeing and learning a lot of things about life in college.

Puberty blocker - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

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.

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?

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.
