The Reckoning over Puberty Blockers Has Arrived. Quackery needs to be stopped!

Some doctors are monsters plain and simple and they should loose their license ASAP! 

The horrible euphemisms about "gender affirming care" or "gender dysphoria" etc. are disgusting and appalling!

"Across the United States, thousands of parents have consented to having their children’s puberty stopped with a class of drugs called gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. Known colloquially as “puberty blockers,” these drugs overstimulate the pituitary gland to the point of preventing it from sending signals to the ovaries or testes to start producing the hormones responsible for puberty.

Parents who have consented to these drugs for their children love their kids dearly, but they’ve consented under entirely false pretenses. The doctors who’ve advised them say that puberty blockers are known to improve mental health — that they are even life-saving — and that they are fully reversible and just give kids “time to think.” None of this is true.
Major American medical associations say that “gender-affirming care” for kids is “medically necessary” and “life-saving.” Health authorities in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the U.K. disagree. Last month, the National Health Service of England decommissioned puberty blockers as a treatment of adolescent gender dysphoria. “We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of [puberty blockers] to make the treatment routinely available at this time,” the NHSE explained. ..."
