I am not qualified to evaluate the precise side effects of puberty blockers. But I have read that puberty blockers can have significant and dangerous side effects. This stands to reason as almost any powerful drug (and an effective puberty blocker would have to be a powerful drug) brings side effects.

Believe me -- I'm on a couple of powerful ones now and they certainly have side effects.

More generally, I have problems with any drug taken for -- well, let's call them "cosmetic" reasons -- that is to say, a drug taken not to counteract a threat to one's physical health (e.g., an infection; high blood pressure) but simply to make one "feel better" about oneself. (Same reason I don't like plastic surgery, botox, toupees, wigs, dyed hair, tattoos, make-up etc.)

The trick is to figure out how best to deal with the cards one has been dealt in life, not to engage in fruitless efforts to change the cards -- because you can't.
