This may be controversial but I support the use of hormone blockers for children. I just wish I was lucky enough to have started them back when I was much younger. I haven't read any negative studies about them and the effects are easily reversed. I agree that some children can go through phases but it isn't like they are just handing them out to everyone who walks in.
I don't know much about the system over in the US, but here in the UK it is difficult enough for an adult to get on hormone blockers nevermind a child. Self-medicating is also rather common due to long waiting times for first appointments and because it takes months, possibly a year or more in some cases to actually get on them once they have finally seen you a few times.
Seriously, no fucking wonder some decide to end it all.
