Actually, @JustTom , it can and it does

"Relying on evidence you have direct access to is a logical fallacy".

@DrYuriMom Evidence please, your study confirming this?

Anecdotal events may not provide a complete picture, but it is relevant data.

We use drugs to delay puberty - it's called precious puberty

why is the modern answer to literally everything drugs?

what am i saying, that is the human answer to everything since we first found cocaine and pot

And that kid will never have children.
Good job for killing childs future.

delay =/= stop

Are you against eugenics, @Jasse?

Thank you, @Grenade123

permanently stop i should say

@Aktriaz not really.
But thats complelty different thing than taking away childrens ablility to have kids in future.

Now I will back up and say I'm not sure how to feel about the recent "trendiness" or trans

now here is a question, @DrYuriMom do you think there are some who claim to be transgender out of a fad/to 'belong', rather than actual feelings of dysphoria

oh

lol

Isn't this a way of preventing me from the mental illness behind transgenderism? Or would you rather keep these people in the gene pool?

Just saying

That said, trans has been around for a very long time. Dr Benjamin wrote about it in the 1930's.

The problem is how long you intend to delay it and for what causes. There are many studies that currently exist that all reaffirm that our moden way of growing strongly encourages the body to go through puberty during the late teenage years and to reach full growth by age 20. If you push this off by one year... two tops, then it may not be horrible, but you're talking about starting every child on these drugs at age 13 (or slightly younger) to prevent the beginning of puberty, and delaying this to age 18 (or whatever your age of consent is going to be), all due to the less than 1% of the population that is trans, barring the trans-trenders.

Do you have ANY idea how DAMAGING that would be to society as a whole, and the overwhelming damage it will cause to entire generations?

I would *never* propose that be done for every child

ever

never

no way

NOW THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!

Where did that come from?!?

we treat kids like children too much IMO.

there's that study about the boy who lost his penis in a freak circumcision accident so he was raised a girl

Flex Seal commercial. That's where that phrase is from.

@Aktriaz but how you know that children actually have body dismorphia? that wount fix it self when they grow up?

Meybodi, Azadeh Mazaheri, Ahmad Hajebi, and Atefeh Ghanbari Jolfaei. "The frequency of personality disorders in patients with gender identity disorder." Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran 28 (2014): 90.

Iran? You do know they forcibly transition gay men, right?

Most people who decide against transitioning end up gay

Umm....is the Islamic Republic of Iran a crediable source for information?

Being gay is also mentall illnes.

*faceplam*

*headdesk*

I'm craaazzzzyyyyy

i think the real mental illness here is "oh you're gay so that means you must be a girl then"
