Puberty Blockers
What they are, and why children cannot consent to them.
Puberty blockers are drugs which — like the name says — completely block puberty from occurring.
They are prescribed to healthy children as young as 10 years old who present with a condition known as gender dysphoria, a feeling that they want to be the other gender.
The drug usually prescribed is called Lupron — a drug that was given FDA approval to treat prostate cancer in men, and endometriosis in women.
There have been no long-term clinical studies done on children. Puberty blockers are being used ‘off label’ to block kids’ healthy, natural development, with grave physical consequences. The few small studies we do have show that they don’t even provide any psychological benefit.
What we do know is that If children are free to go through puberty, at least 4 out of 5 kids will see their gender dysphoria just go away.
