There is no long term research on this insanity. There is no long term research on the effects of long term use of puberty blockers. The drugs themselves were only meant to be used on short term, and even in those cases we already know they can have long term negative side effects.

And we have more than enough studies on gender dysphoria in children, that show that anywhere between 50-90% of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria actually grow OUT OF IT once they pass puberty.
And it shouldn't take a rocket scientists to figure out that if you put a stop to puberty, those 50-90% of children will never get cured via that natural process, and are likely to be put through extra hormone treatments that they wouldn't have needed otherwise, leading them to a life of needless extra struggle and misery.

@alyx @rimugu interesting that research that supports your opinion is real research but research that doesn't is fake/doesn't exist.

@animeirl @rimugu
Because it doesn't exist. You can't have long term research on puberty blockers because puberty blockers haven't been used on long term on children until this trend of transitioning (abusing) children has begun a few years ago.

@alyx @rimugu there is research in the topic going back to the late 90s so it's not like this is a complete unknown

@animeirl @alyx @rimugu Not on puberty blockers, and all the research that exists is either unusable or shows they don't have an effect on alleviating dysphoria

@matrix @alyx @rimugu theres def research showing it reduces dysphoria idk what you're talking about

@animeirl @alyx @rimugu I'm talking about papers like this one. This one is blatantly unusable and yet it was published with findings "60% lower odds of moderate or severe depression and 73% lower odds of suicidality over a 12-month follow-up".

The fact that it was published also proves bias.
