    Check your local laws because in more places than people realise consent for medical procedure is way more fluid than they realise

    And it is, and so much so that Republicans have started to call for being given the "freedom" to persecute others, a trick they lifted from the religious fanatics.

    Not at all because it merely delays the onset of puberty. Stop taking the blockers and puberty resumes as per normal.

    The only "side effect" has been a tendency for those who have delayed puberty to be on the tall side.

    As someone who started puberty later than my peers I ended up being 6' 2" which made me one of the tallest in my HS senior class.

    The development of puberty blockers originally was for those who started puberty prior to their teens.

    So no, taking puberty blockers are not a "life altering" decision given that puberty can naturally start later for some than for others and delayed onset puberty has no negative side effects.

    I would still think that would cause something permanent.
    moving in America how much study has been given to determining the effects of this kind of therapy on somebody
    well you just said it was it'll make you taller that would alter your life. Delaying your puberty would alter your life that's the point because if it's not why take them why ever prescribe them.

    I don't read links.

    So you expect me to define a phrase you use I can't do that you used it whatever you meant by it you need to make clear I don't know what me reading links has to do with that.

    In which case I recommend that you READ #46 and #54 again given that I EXPLAINED the PURPOSE of puberty blockers in those posts.

    So they are life altering? That's what I got from the first time I read them. I already asked you and then you asked me to define the phrase you used.

    Circling back to a conclusion I already made would do any good. We've covered that ground.

    Informed, individual consent is my guiding principle on medical issues.

    Children cannot consent, but I feel they can deny consent. Similar to how a heavily intoxicated person cannot consent to sex but can still deny it.

    No, I don't think so. And even if it is, you have offered nothing as a counter. What about that? Or do you deny that Republicans actively suppressed artists for language, the seven forbidden words? And how about marriage? First it was anti miscegenation, and then same sex couples. And do I really need to talk about Republican's efforts at voter suppression? And for some reason Republicans can't seem to overcome their obsession with and attempts to control what goes on sexually in other peoples bedrooms, as it is any of their damned business.

    This looks like a feeble attempt to derail this thread. If you want to just rant about things you imagine Republicans do that you don't like, why don't you go start a thread about it in the appropriate forum instead of dragging that into this one?

    Quite the contrary. Established fact and part of our recent, often recorded history.

    I'm not sure if this is serious or a joke, but I've got no interest in trying to track the pronouns of anonymous people on the internet.
