basically, if safety is the concern, ban it COMPLETELY. there is no reason other than transphobia that puberty blockers should be banned for trans kids but not for cis kids.

so why are cis kids still allowed to be prescribed these blockers? they are prescribed for a large range of conditions, some of which with the positive effects likely being lower than the negative side effects. surely if they are to be banned, it should be a blanket ban.

so yes, these drugs can be dangerous and they should be reviewed. however, despite this i could not pretend that this ban isn't transphobic. for some trans kids, the negative side effects of these treatments much preferable to trying to live through a puberty that is totally wrong for them.
