Hey how about you educate yourself, since you’re rejecting lots of good faith attempts to do it for you? The science checks out, you just haven’t actually read any of it. At best you’ve had it misrepresented to you, much the way a parent would lie to a child.
Anything that messes with your hormones absolutely has the chance of causing harm. Whether that is birth control, or even giving test to a guy with low levels.
Go on then in good faith. How does it cause zero harm? Zero has been emphasised. I want to know it doesn't cause more or less height, more or less hair growth. No pain. No anxiety. No worries. Nothing for anyone. Remember it has to be ZERO harm. Not only mild or only small harm, not occasional harm. It has to be 0. ZERO harm. Can you show me a source for that please?
Government of the world are educated on this matter and they are changing there minds on it. I'm not an expert so I'm not the one that needs convincing they do.
Zero harm in the context of being used for folks concerned with their gender identity. If we’re considering height discrepancies to be “serious harm”, then we’re not really having a good faith discussion at all. You CLEARLY don’t need convincing, seeing as any effort spent will be wasted. You’re a brick wall asking me to walk through you.
Like I said. I don't need convincing it's the trained experts in multiple countries having looked at the evidence are deciding to change things stop puberty blockers because of worries of harm.
