Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

All puberty blockers do is pause puberty. Once you stop taking them, puberty resumes.
They are used on children for reasons other than the child being transgender. For example, precocious puberty where a child starts developing before a standard puberty age.
Should we not allow kids at that critical stage of development have their hormones messed with?
Should we also not be trying to prevent child suicide?
I know you didn't read the article, but that's still allowed and the 100 kids on this treatment will continue to do so.
I came to Lemmy to get away from people going off titles alone. You're automatically arguing in bad faith if you don't even read What's being changed.
And don't give me this bullshit of "it just resumes!" Because that's not how bodies work. There's a reason puberty should happen at the right age, the entire reason for this medication btw.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here. So don't waste it by coming back and shouting nonsense about medical research, something neither of us is qualified enough to understand. (And I worked for nhs mind you)
Hmm...
...
Seems like you think you're qualified enough...
I'm not qualified but I know when I don't know everything and can smell bullshit from people underplaying a serious aspect.
The first step to knowledge is realising you don't know anything as they say. As i said, i used to work for nhs and my parent comes from a medical background. To say anything they deal with is simple or easy to understand is laughable.
"I know when I don't know everything but I know this is bullshit" is not an especially scientific attitude when approaching a scientific subject.
I lack the words to sift out emotional responses.
Is the meaning of my words truly lost?
I would say declaring something to be bullshit without evidence and while admitting it is not your area would be the emotional response here.
Then my point has indeed been missed. Feel free to discard it as it hasn't come across as intended.
