“My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control […] A puberty blocker provides them with a pause […] with no effects on fertility, and is 100% reversible.”

Freedom? Small government? No, conservatives love governments interfering in the most personal aspects of your life, so long as you belong to a group they don't like, whether it's trans people or women or people with disabilities.
