minus-square HikingVet ( @HikingVet@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilink23•5 months agoWho else would puberty blockers be for?
minus-square Nomecks ( @Nomecks@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilink4•5 months agoProbably people with a whole range of medical issues that get swept up in our government trying to hurt “the right people”.
minus-square blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink3•5 months agoMy understanding is they’re also prescribed to delay very-early onset of puberty. Puberty has started, for some individuals, so young as to be giving birth at age 5. (in India, in that case.) They have other applications aside from transitioning.
