So a teenager with confirmed trans issues by a licensed psychiatrist will not be able to get puberty blockers for said diagnosed trans issues then?

I foresee an increased number of sad and avoidable teen suicides.

And I dont understand why they are doing it? Cruelty is the point, I know, but is it also so the trans people will be easier to pick out in a crowd?

It's so they won't end up with trans kids of their own. It's mostly the cruelty, but also the fear that their own kids might not be their definition of "perfect".

Good point!

Yet acne medication with hormone modification is totally fine for the cis kids that are under 18 🙄 I have an idea, why don't politicians let doctors do their jobs and stay out of healthcare

I’m not being hyperbolic. There will be blood on their hands. Forced puberty is psychological torture for trans kids and will result in deaths.

As a trans person who went through the wrong puberty and who has known people who are no longer here, I am willing to confirm - you are not being hyperbolic
