Wait we could have delayed puberty with negative side effects but with actual benefits? Those poor 5th graders with beards would have really appreciated this info. Poor guys really struggled.
Yeap, it’s being diagnosed more every year, especially in young women. I think there are theories about hormone influencing chemicals in the environment, but it may just be a case of better diagnosis in the medical community.
My main point is just that hormone therapy in pediatrics is super common, and the vast majority of it has nothing to do with gender affirming care. Yet we don’t really see any parents or politicians harping concerns about these prescriptions even though they have the same mechanism of action and risk.
