What are the criteria for use of puberty blockers?

In most cases, to begin using puberty blockers, an individual needs to:

Show a lasting pattern of gender nonconformity or gender dysphoria.
Have gender dysphoria that began or worsened at the start of puberty.
Address any psychological, medical or social problems that could interfere with the treatment.
Be able to understand the treatment and agree to have it. This is called informed consent.

Puberty blockers are not recommended for children who have not started puberty.

Puberty blockers are harmful and irreversible, and should never be administered to children under any circumstance. Leave the $#@!ing kids alone.

[Now_What]

Everything these people say about transgender is fake. They do not read the medical literature. They do not understand that transgenderism is an actual condition.
They do not inform themselves that this is not something new that it has been around ever since there have been psychologists to diagnose it. The difference now is that the folks who attach shame to transgenderism are losing the battle and it is being accepted by society.
These Republicans always want to reverse history and go back to some time in the past that is past.

Yup, it’s just their normal homophobia.

Wait. Doesn’t your side say transsexualism and homosexuality are not related?

Maybe, I don’t know. But regardless, I believe that the hatred of transsexuals on the right is rooted in their own homophobia.

It should be a criminal offense to do that.

Lol I was thinking the same thing. At least they understand they are related even if they will only admit it by accident.

Your beliefs are silly.

European states are reversing course. They're banned for adolescents but I'm not sure what penalty might be for non-compliance

It should.
