It's time to start writing LOTS of articles about cis gender affirming care, the many kinds (breast reduction, breast enhancement, jaw enhancement, testosterone treatments (like jfkjr's), how common it is, how old patients are...

Is it really appropriate for kids to make this kind of decision so early in life? I know it must be difficult, but isn’t waiting to at least 18 better to address issues?

I live in TN. They will absolutely use this law to make more laws that “protect kids” from additional things, like their own LGBTQ parents and other decisions parents for their kids these Christian fascists don’t like.

That article does a fine job of providing scientific justification for the opinion that puberty-delaying treatments are safe.

It does not do a fine job of justifying the opinion that all gender-affirming care is safe.

I will never understand how letting doctors practice evidence-based medicine, and letting patients make their own healthcare choices along with those doctors, has become some sort of radical leftist take to these people.

Here’s the first openly trans attorney who argued in front of the Supreme Court today! I’m feeling so grateful for all the amazing speakers who came out today in support of the Supreme Court case.

Her other work (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2206297) demonstrated that gender affirming hormone treatment had psychological benefits. One could reasonably infer that blocking puberty alone is insufficient and that providing GAH should be the standard of care.
