  I mean, not if they’re banned as per the OP, surely? Not sure what you mean here?

    They aren’t banned for use as a treatment for precocious puberty, which presumably is something anyone can suffer from trans or otherwise.

      Yeah but they’re banned for use for kids who suffer from gender dysphoria, which is a condition that by definition only trans people have, so it’s absolutely restricting access to them based on them being trans.

        They aren’t banned for kids who suffer from dysphoria. They are banned from being used as a treatment for dysphoria. Important difference.
