Presumably they're trying to compare the tiny sample of de-trans kids who were on puberty blockers before stopping them and comparing some measure of fertility vs population averages? Which, how do you find statistically significant data in that small a population?

Luigi couldn't have shot that CEO, he was too busy bringing me HRT supplies for DIY

I'm willing to reevaluate my position on her in light of these continued revelations

Remembering that these same people apparently see no issue in the continuation of using the exact same puberty blockers on cis kids with precocious puberty, despite any long term reproductive effects obviously being more of a concern there.

guessing they mean long-term fertility, in the case of the odd non-trans kid that has jumped through all the hurdles to get blockers and then decided to stop them, but if they think the evidence for gender affirming care helping trans kids is flimsy well boy do I have some bad news about that one

This used to be me too, I couldn't stand waiting in lines and go long distances on my crutches, so airports were like a specially designed hell to navigate without assistance.

My gp was going through the side effects of bicalutamide when I first started hrt and had to catch themself after "breast growth" with a "well, I guess that's not really an issue in this case" lol

"It also found that puberty blockers impacted patients' bone health and fertility was negatively affected."

I swear to fucking god, you're specifically bringing up impact to fertility as a negative to trans healthcare? What next, warning that feminising hrt might cause breast growth?

I was promised copious amounts of neon and cool cybernetics at least, what happened to that part? 😔

Exactly, there are some incredible applications that aren't trying to replace art, creating a girlfriend in the computer, building the computer god. The pre-screening of medical imaging to highlight potential areas of importance for review by a Dr is definitely one of those cool as fuck areas.

Well here's Australia flipped upside down into the northern hemisphere, over North America, at roughly equivalent latitude.

Tasmania is the little island crossing the border between Montana and Alberta.bur instead of having the rest of Canada's landmass between it and the pole it just has ocean

Hobart is down at the bottom of Tasmania (the New Zealand of Australia) and the fun part is its constantly confused about if it's supposed to be winter or not, because occasionally the Antarctic will just yeet a bunch of cold air at it across the southern ocean during what's nominally summer

Anyway that's how I ended up buying an extra kilo of creatine, and protein powder while on holiday. Zero regrets, 2 mountains hiked/scrambled up.
