    also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental?

    Honest answer: the drugs are being used off-label. It’s not even experimental, it’s basically a wildcat way of using them. An experiment would involve control groups and a double-blind trial, among other things.

    I’m saying this because this is what rightoids are saying as criticism and you need to be able to counter that with facts. Right now, there just isn’t enough information and that’s what they’re capitalizing on.

      40 years of using hormone blockers for precocious puberty. “Not enough info.” Fuck the whole way off.

      double-blind trial

      No. The data is fine. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
