How can anyone say these hormones are safe when there have been no long term studies on the effects of hormones especially injected into children/adolescents?

Children are not given HRT. Some of them are put on hormone blockers to delay puberty; that isva realitivaly new procedure, and it is still controversial among physicians. Jazz Jennings is a Guinea Pig if you will.

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

maybe look for studies before saying something like this - there absolutely is a lot of work on how transitioning effects.

@@Nobody-fb7ni my original comment was posted 2 years ago, and it concerned the myth that doctors are pumping children with cross hormones in a global conspiracy to make boys girls, which of course is nonsense. I wrote that as an older adult who was experimenting with HRT treatment in a need to transition. I decided it was not for me, so I quit. I don't believe that children under 18, should go through thar process.

@@visaman If you mean go through HRT I agree. Puberty blockers are completely reversible tho and can be lifesaving, should be available to teenagers and kids.

Hello, my name is Andrea and I’m writing from Italy. You say that “all the evidence suggests that in terms of self harm and suicide (… omissis) it is much better to intervene medically”. Since it’s good practice to always cite your sources when talking about statistics, can you please tell us where to find these statistics? If you want I can show you data from reliable sources that say the contrary is true

Show data please

[@jeeves2000]

Maybe YOU should show your data first.... @@ishatounjoya9991

There is no information that we didn't know included. That a male body is a male body and a female body is a female body and that we are doing this as societal last choices and when you get told by a doctor,a phsychologist,the state,and a doctor the state brought in to examine me,I think I can say I'm pretty sure.Even surer when I make 3 attempts to transition after college
