No it hasn't been shown time and time again. Look into the actual studies, and not just into the ones the trans lobby presents.

The issue here is manipulation of children. If children were fed tons of harmful pain blockers, there would be a "panic", too.



Kids get fed mountains of acetaminophen every year. Why do you suppose that acetaminophen packages have prominent warnings about not exceeding dosages?

It's because acetaminophen is extremely hepatotoxic at levels not very far above the recommended dosages.

> Hepatic injury and subsequent hepatic failure due to both intentional and non-intentional overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) has affected patients for decades, and [...] remains a global issue; in the United States, in particular, it accounts for more than 50% of overdose-related acute liver failure and approximately 20% of the liver transplant cases.

I would assert that acetaminophen is far more likely to be dangerous to far more children than puberty blockers and yet I don't see any moral panic over children's Tylenol.


Are you saying doctors routinely overprescripe Tylenol, but they never err when they prescribe puberty blockers? Because of science?


Do you know of many cases of children being mutilated for life from Tylenol? Also your assertion is just a wild guess.



That appears to be one single case.


I realize that people like you on the right have the sole purpose of wasting time.

Is that enough? And by the way this is a higher rate the abortion pill that was banned.
