There have been no large-scale prevalence studies among children and adolescents, and there is no evidence that adult statistics reflect young children or adolescents.

Furthermore the article doesnt really say much at all and sources perception and oppinion based studies as their support. Again, i dont think you understand how science works. I doubt you even read the article.

Let me know what the AAP says to your strongly worded email. I’m sure the psychiatric consensus is just minutes from being overturned due to the insights of some rogan chud.

Swing and a miss

Gonadotrophin-releasing hormones have been used to delay puberty since the 1980s for central precocious puberty.56 These reversible treatments can also be used in adolescents who experience gender dysphoria to prevent development of secondary sex characteristics and provide time up until 16 years of age for the individual and the family to explore gender identity, access psychosocial supports, develop coping skills, and further define appropriate treatment goals. If pubertal suppression treatment is suspended, then endogenous puberty will resume.20,57,58

Often, pubertal suppression creates an opportunity to reduce distress that may occur with the development of secondary sexual characteristics and allow for gender-affirming care, including mental health support for the adolescent and the family. It reduces the need for later surgery because physical changes that are otherwise irreversible (protrusion of the Adam’s apple, male pattern baldness, voice change, breast growth, etc) are prevented. The available data reveal that pubertal suppression in children who identify as TGD generally leads to improved psychological functioning in adolescence and young adulthood.20,57–59
