Is Debbie Hayton confusing the Tavistock review with a study on puberty blockers?

@skinster

Why should I cry?

I don't believe children should be taking puberty blockers.

But what confuses me is, if these drugs are so bad and the side effects life-threatening, why are they commonly prescribed to delay puberty in children who experience early puberty?

[skinster]

My post wasn't directed at you and you weirdly seem to think I care what you think (I don't).

[ingliz]

@skinster

Do you think?

It's just that, usually, with non-life-threatening conditions, commonly prescribed drugs, if properly managed, are not a danger to patients.

First of all , rather than referring to a source that is simply hard right propaganda , like seriously what sort of "Communist" are you really, one should research from qualified professional medical sites, such as this , which I shall excerpt from.

Lupron® is a brand of leuprolide. This synthetic hormone treats symptoms of prostate cancer, early-onset puberty and other hormone-related conditions. This medicine comes as an injection that a healthcare provider will teach you how to safely inject into your body... This medicine is for injection under the skin or into a muscle. You will be taught how to prepare and give this medicine. Use exactly as directed. Take your medicine at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed.

It is important that you put your used needles and syringes in a special sharps container. Do not put them in a trash can. If you do not have a sharps container, call your pharmacist or healthcare provider to get one.

A special MedGuide will be given to you by the pharmacist with each prescription and refill. Be sure to read this information carefully each time.

Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. While this medicine may be prescribed for children as young as 8 years for selected conditions, precautions do apply.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.... Visit your doctor or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. During the first week, your symptoms may get worse, but then will improve as you continue your treatment. You may get hot flashes, increased bone pain, increased difficulty passing urine, or an aggravation of nerve symptoms. Discuss these effects with your doctor or health care professional, some of them may improve with continued use of this medicine.

Female patients may experience a menstrual cycle or spotting during the first 2 months of therapy with this medicine. If this continues, contact your doctor or health care professional.

So the repressive religious reactionary right not only is trying to interfere with the administration of gender affirming care, but also even with cancer treatment. If I have said it once , I will say it again, politicians are not physicians, and politics should be kept out of medicine.

Hey radlib, here are the 3 uses of Lupron in males:

1. Prostrate cancer
2. 'Transitioning'
3. Paedophilia [chemical castration]

@Deutschmania WTF is wrong with you? That's not right wing propaganda! That's common sense and facts.

Whenever facts are presented to ideologues of gender identity, it's "Transphobia" or "propaganda". Look at all sides, as I have, before dumping your brains out and going with the self delusion cult.
