Thanks for all the info. Can you explain how hormone treatment for children would be non-permanent? I’d think that adding or substracting hormones, like say growth hormones, would always leave traces throughout ones further life
Because they temporarily block the onset of puberty, not permanently block it. Any effects are mostly reversible if the individual desires. What isn’t reversible are the all too frequent side effects of untreated dysphoria: death.
Thanks. But I see another disclaimer with ‘mostly reversible’… For children I think there would be a lot less opposition if it was only requested for fully reversible treatments.
