In reply to How about acne treatment? posted by Cherubino on 2023-October-19 21:36:11, Thursday

Of course it's not my decision to dictate the choices other people make.

But I think there is a difference between treatments for acne (which are generally very mild) or crooked teeth (which can address problems such as overbites as well as how someone looks) on the one hand and powerful drugs such as puberty blockers on the other.

I suppose one could say that the proper response is to lay out all the evidence on one side or the other and let people make up their own minds.

The problem is that you have powerful moneyed interests that benefit from people spending lots of money on experimental drugs (or for that matter on voluntary dental procedures) and they will flood the information channels.

Add to that the capture by Big Trans of major cultural, media and political organs and it's going to be hard to give people the kind of disinterested information they need to make potentially life-altering decisions.

Why the best advice I can give -- if asked -- is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Puberty is something that everyone, barring tragedy, goes through and should be accepted as it comes -- and those charged with loving and guiding youngsters experiencing puberty -- which yes, can be a traumatic life passage -- should be there for them with patience and forbearance. But not filling their heads with false notions such as the idea that if one is not happy with one's sex that one can just change it. One can't, whether or not one mutilates one's body or uses powerful and potentially dangerous drugs to forestall the natural course of the maturing process by a year or two.
