Banned? As in completely banned?
WTF! What kind of idiots are deciding policy nowadays.
Some kids start hitting puberty REAL early. They *need* those blockers.
Also: trans rights are human rights. including not going though the wrong puberty.

@Gurre @fulelo I read another article and it seems that they might be banned only for children with gender dysphoria, and not for those with other conditions such as precocious puberty, which is odd if these drugs are actually so dangerous.

@alcinoe @Gurre @fulelo That's the usual case most prescription drugs, and absolutely so with therapies such as hormone supplements or antagonists. To pick one at random: thyroid supplements are necessary to people with thyroid disorder but extremely inadvisable to anyone without.
