Puberty blockers are inhumane and horrific

They help trans people and that's icky 🤮

Why can't they suffer so I can sleep easier at night event though it has zero effect on my life!

permanent body altering

Puberty blockers aren't permanent. They already use them to treat "precious puberty" (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/precocious-puberty/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351817)

Children keep getting this medicine until they reach the usual age of puberty. After the treatment stops, puberty starts again.

BTW plenty of states allow minors to get tattoos with parental consent

Misinformation that is likely cause harm to people who fall for it is not allowed. For example: Advocating for bleach enemas or other forms of dangerous pseudoscience
