Hey Buck, do you think that before someone, especially a minor, should go through some counseling before embarking on surgery or puberty blockers, to ensure they are of sound mind before making that decision?

BuckSwope 654 Posted December 15, 2022 1 hour ago, jerryskids said: HT's point wasn't on explicit testing per se, but rather that you can't have it both ways. On the one hand you say that use of puberty blockers is very rare; if so there is by definition little actual data on the effects, particularly in the long term. Now you are saying it is well tested, which implies a lot of use. Perhaps they can extrapolate the precocious puberty data, although I don't know how common that is? Although your links do list quite a few negative effects. I presume that the rationale is that the good outweighs the bad? That may be true for actual trans people; for the confused, probably not so much. I guess I don't understand why the bolded is implied, and I think that is part of the miscommunication in this back and forth. I take the meaning as tested as in from trials and other tests, not that it's been tested in the field on 10s of thousands of patients. I could understand how a drug could be "tested" and found safe enough to use for a procedure when needed, but it not being needed for that many procedures. And yes, that lack of real world testing and use should give people pause when considering that as an option and I would hope that doctors are relaying that information as well. As to the last part, I think that yes, that is what is being implied, and when you look on some sites like the Mayo Clinic and others that was the tone - there are risks, they need to be weighed, it's not for everybody, but sometimes the risks are small enough that they feel it's warranted to go ahead with the procedure.

Strike 5,565 Posted December 15, 2022 I posted the following article when it came out. Might have been in a different thread cause can't find it in this one. Doesn't matter. I was shocked that such an even handed article came from the NY Times. It's like they decided to actually do journalism again. Anyways, I strongly suggest anyone truly interested in being educated on this topic read it. Those of you with your feet planted in the ground because "your side" told you something need not do so. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/health/puberty-blockers-transgender.html?searchResultPosition=3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, the post you quoted was explaining my understanding of HT's point, not necessarily my own. That being said, there is validity in the fact that you can only glean so much accurate information from time extrapolations and low volumes. The reality though is that some people need to be the early adopters, and you can't wait 20 years to see what happens in 20 years, so drug companies do their best to mimic it. You can argue if that means it is "well-tested" or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,552 Posted December 15, 2022 I just think it's funny how the Left is ok with 5,000 kids (meaning, they don't see it as a problem because the number is so small), is on puberty blockers which is likely to be life altering and irreversible. Yet, when 15 unarmed black guys (12 justifiably so), are killed on average, we have to completely alter our judicial system nationally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,642 Posted December 27, 2022 I was listening recently to a podcast about the DC sniper and the SCOTUS decision to remove "Life without chance of parole" for juveniles. Lots of experts were saying how, no matter how heineous their crimes are, juveniles cant be aware of all of implications if their crimes based on lack of brain development.

The Failed Old Party's most pressing issues facing the country are banning abortions, screeching about non-existent "groomers" and obsessing about confused kids. What a fail of a party. All due to republicans embracing uneducated whites who always need some kind of boogeyman to be scared of and blame their lack of success on. Immigrants, non-whites, the elite, the educated, non-religious, etc. Quite the transformation from the party of individual rights to the party of white, christian 1950's values.
