Can you imagine being in the GC strategy room meetings about this. Like "well fuck all the evidence shows that PBs work, what are we going to say?" "How about the evidence they work shows they don't work?" "well we haven't got anything better". I bet they can't believe it worked either
I'll never get over Cass straight up saying "Most kids on PBs eventually go on HRT, this means PBs don't work" and somehow being taken seriously
Comments
"most kids who take puberty blockers end up taking HRT, so puberty blockers don't work" is a perfectly logical statement when your definition of them "working" would be for the kid to get over this silly little phase and let natural puberty happen
and the majority of cis people, even the "allies" deep down, do indeed see our existence as a failure state.
But I guess, according to the GC way of thinking, anything that leads to a trans kid realizing their wants and desires is an abject
It’s all bad faith science rooted in hatred of trans people existing
We find that basically everyone who takes PBs goes on to HRT. This means either:
A) Something dodgy with PB
B) PB only given sparingly in extreme cases
And while we could look at the data to decide which, we all know what that will show so we just have to pretend it’s A.

They probably see PB's as a gateway drug, in the same way cannabis is a gateway drug to heroin... as opposed to PB's and HRT easing mental health problems (caused by societal pressures).
and it works because cis people just want an excuse to ban everything anyway
