    Puberty blocking is a form of therapy. Puberty blockers are a form of medication.

    Gender dysphoria isn’t depression (look up “comorbidity”; it’s a big word, so I’ll give you some time), you wouldn’t treat it with antidepressants. That’s like taking an antacid for a headache.

    “My beliefs come from peer reviewed studies” is such obvious horse shit. You didn’t read the studies I linked you to, clearly.

    This conversation is done until you can prove to me that you’ve read and understood the studies provided to you. Since, y’know, that’s what your beliefs are supposedly based on. You can prove me wrong whenever.

      Suicide comes from depression (or severe psychosis and a few others, but that’s getting on a tangent)

      You don’t treat SI with changing the body. You fix the mind (or at least the hormones)

        In your expert medical opinion, how do you think gender dysphoria is treated? Here’s a hint: It’s described in the articles you still haven’t read.
