Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics)
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 4 days agoI’m starting to get cussed at a lot in this post and labelled a “transphobe” because apparently I disagree with giving kids life altering hormones.
I feel like people are watering down the “transphobe” label, which actually could negatively impact trans people.
As you said puberty blockers are a slippery slope, I would disagree with you if they aren’t life altering. Some say that when you stop them, puberty just sets in as normal, so if that’s the case, I don’t see an issue. I don’t know if you have a different point though or disagree. The NHS seems to disagree but others are claiming that it’s been infiltrated by political activists.

I don’t think we know enough about the human body to be able to just postpone puberty, then carry on as normal a few years later. And even if so, there’s psychological effects to consider. Look at stuff like the contraceptive implant for women, that really fucks up hormones in some women.
There’s a bit of an echo chamber and tunnel vision on here at times.

Apparently I’m a transphobe again for just asking questions
