Puberty blockers for children with gender dysphoria to be banned indefinitely (news.stv.tv)

Treatment for gender dysphoria aims to help people live the way they want to, in their preferred gender identity or as non-binary.

Some young trans, intersex, and gender non-binary people may decide to take puberty blockers after talking about it with their parents or guardian and a nurse or doctor.

What the fuck is wrong with Labour? Why are they so hardline on being transphobic.

I don’t see how it’s transphobic to think that an underage kid, with an undeveloped brain, might not be capable of making educated, permanent, life-altering decisions like this. Maybe the rest of you were all child prodigies, but I was a complete moron even at 18. There’s no way I should have been allowed to start a medication like that without first consulting several health professionals. Especially so, given that I did go through a few years in my teens where I felt like I was in the wrong body and got depressed because of it. It then turns out that no, I'm actually happy being male, I just like cock too.
