Treatment for gender dysphoria aims to help people live the way they want to, in their preferred gender identity or as non-binary.

Some young trans, intersex, and gender non-binary people may decide to take puberty blockers after talking about it with their parents or guardian and a nurse or doctor.

      I don’t see how it’s transphobic to think that an underage kid, with an undeveloped brain, might not be capable of making educated, permanent, life-altering decisions like this. Maybe the rest of you were all child prodigies, but I was a complete moron even at 18. There’s no way I should have been allowed to start a medication like that without first consulting several health professionals. Especially so, given that I did go through a few years in my teens where I felt like I was in the wrong body and got depressed because of it. It then turns out that no, I’m actually happy being male, I just like cock too.
