It was a dumb comparison and as others have pointed out, giving people mercury was not evidence-based treatment. Comparing half a century of data using quality methods and testing to mercury chugging centuries ago is profoundly ignorant.

The evidence is not there for puberty blockers and it isn’t there for mercury.
Either way the medical professionals have worked out what is best for the patient based on all the information and they have decided no to puberty blockers. No point talking about it anymore, the experts have spoken and neither of us has more data than them.
