A district judge in Wisconsin has sided with an 11-year-old trans girl over her use of the girls’ toilets and temporarily blocked school officials from preventing her access.

    My “bias” was literally go to google and search, then grab the ones that had studies and scientists/doctors backing them up. The NHS no longer says that puberty blockers are reversible. It doesn’t matter what site reports it, they’re reporting facts.

    What I take from this is that you know they’re right, you just want to deflect because you have no actual response.

      Nah, you just grabbed whatever shitty articles backed up your existing viewpoint because if you’d bothered to do any actual research you’d have seen that at worst there’s a hell of a lot more nuance than the anti-trans bigotry you spewed all over the thread:

      Oh, and please note that my sources are from official government sources and peer-reviewed journals, not transphobic right-wing rags that are pushing agendas.

        Took 2 seconds to find this in one of your sources that says that puberty blockers are fully reversible (the health line article):

        Although puberty blockers are frequently described as “fully reversible,” more research is needed to fully understand the impact they may have on fertility. There is also little known about the drugs’ lasting effects on brain development and bone mineral density.

        So they say they’re fully reversible yet don’t actually know 😂.

        From the mayo clinic one:

        Use of GnRH analogues also might have long-term effects on:

        Growth spurts. Bone growth. Bone density. Fertility, depending on when the medicine is started. If individuals assigned male at birth begin using GnRH analogues early in puberty, they might not develop enough skin on the penis and scrotum to be able to have some types of gender-affirming surgeries later in life. But other surgery approaches usually are available.

        How on earth can you look at those “side effects” and come to the conclusion that they’re “fully reversible”? Having an pre pubescent boys micro penis isn’t reversible. Being sterile isn’t reversible. Having early onset osteoporosis isn’t reversible.
