I'm sure the gender therapy doctors know more than all of us, but I just can't imagine it's that healthy and harmless, considering the stuff your head goes through as a teenager already without hormones.
I suppose time will tell as the first kids to try it get older.
That's a bit mixed up, in the sense that the stuff that goes through your head in puberty is because of the hormones, it's not without the hormones. A child going through puberty with hormone blockers would be the one without the hormones I imagine. Just judging by the fact they're called hormone blockers, not that I know much about them.
But I'd be skeptical about if their use is healthy even with a medical approval.
I wouldn't shun medical intervention when it's reasonably useful but I don't think even medical professionals fully understand the intricate mechanisms and how everything effects everything else in the body totally.
It only takes a few decades sometimes for medical opinion to flip flop on ideas and I tend to think sticking as close to nature as you can is a pretty good idea a lot of the time.
I've thought about trying out steroids before but I don't like the idea of manipulating nature to the extent of messing around with hormones.
Unless it's a situation where I as a man somehow started growing tits or something. Then I'd say yeh do whatever you have to do with hormones to stop this.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
