Puberty Blocking Drugs Used On “Trans Kids” Have Killed More Than 6,000 People

Here’s a horror show of a story that you’re probably not going to see on CNN anytime soon. A report emerged on Thursday indicating that the puberty-blocking drug Leuprolide Acetate (Lupron) has resulted in tens of thousands of serious “adverse reactions” in patients, including more than six thousand deaths. That’s bad enough, but it’s even more significant when you consider that this is one of the drugs being administered by doctors to so-called “transgender children” to unnaturally prevent their normal sexual development. And the testing done on the drug by the FDA for such applications appears to be thin at best. (Daily Wire)
More than 6,300 adults have died from reactions to a drug that is used as a puberty blocker in gender-confused children, Food & Drug Administration data reportedly shows.
Between 2012 and June 30 of this year, the FDA documented over 40,764 adverse reactions suffered by patients who took Leuprolide Acetate (Lupron), which is used as a hormone blocker. More than 25,500 reactions logged from 2014-2019 were considered serious, including 6,370 deaths, The Christian Post reported on Thursday.
Lupron is being prescribed off-label for use in children who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria despite the lack of formal FDA approval for that purpose, the outlet explained.
You can do a search of the FDA’s incident reports here and enter the name of the drug (Lupron) to see their data.
Despite the possible adverse side effects, there are approved uses for Lupron, but it tends to be administered only for serious conditions. It’s useful in treating prostate cancer in men and endometriosis in women. For children, it is sometimes used to treat precocious puberty, a condition where children begin puberty at an unusually early age, but only for a short time.
The list of potential side effects for the drug is alarming. It includes breast disorders, malignant neoplasms, and psychiatric and nervous disorders. Stop and think about that for a moment. If you have a child that is already so confused that they are questioning their “gender identity” before they’ve even reached the age where their body is dealing with such issues, do you want to give them a drug that can produce psychiatric or nervous disorders?
To top it all off, the FDA has never formally approved the use of Lupron for treating gender dysphoria in children. Two years ago the agency announced that it was beginning a study of “nervous system and psychiatric events in association with the use of … a class of drugs including Lupron, in pediatric patients. We don’t know the results of that study yet.
What adults, including transgender individuals, choose to do with their own bodies is their business as long as they’re willing to take responsibility for the results. But the experiments being performed on confused young children who have been convinced that they were somehow born the “wrong gender” are simply monstrous. Blocking the natural arrival of puberty in otherwise healthy children should be considered child abuse and medical malpractice to begin with. All of the questions raised in this report about one of the drugs being administered to do such things makes it all the worse.

How many of these gender dysphoria people would have later committed suicide?

Does this make trans kid parents who allow this drug given to their kid murderers going forward now that they have been so publicly warned?

is this drug responsible for children believing they are what they are no? Does it alter behavior?

What difference does it make if the kid kills themselves anyway?
Children who suffer from gender dysphoria issues have a high rate of suicide.

OK, I’ll stipulate that I’m a cold-hearted bitch, but I call this draining the swamp. Hundreds of thousands of these un-natural weirdos walking the earth 20 years from now, annihilating traditional marriage, etc., is terrifying.

So for the purposes of the Agenda, prepubescent children are called "people", by the same people who called balding swarthy men rioting in France "youths"...

If this turns out to be true, it will make the Tuskegee Experiments, the LSD trials and Agent Orange fiasco look like an bad episode of “Dr Pimple Popper”
I don't think I'm being alarmist to compare these "treatments" to the experiments the Nazis did on their hapless prisoners and POWs.
The medical profession had NO IDEA what these drugs could have effect down the road. Weakened, underdeveloped bones would be the first symptoms one could expect. Hormones that affect the brain, kidneys and liver could also be suspect. And the always ssuspect cancers of all stripes.
Taking confused but otherwise healthy young children and FORCING them, sometimes with court orders to inject these life altering drugs should cost the medical profession, not to mention the government, to pay BILLIONS(yes BILLIONS) and jail time for the frauds that forced these poor children to undergo such painful and totally unnecessary procedures WITHOUT so much as a throughout testing period.
The making of Oxy Condone will think themselves getting off easy compared to the fraud committed upon the patients and taxpayers

I hated to say that I was thinking along the same lines. It’s natural selection, regardless of the specifics. In much earlier times, the kid who couldn’t run as fast got eaten by the tiger, more recently the kid who had reduced immunity developed polio or died of the measles. No matter how much we prattle about how humans are not animals, when we allow people (even kids) to let their animal instincts rule their behavior instead of using our cognitive abilities, this is the result.
Sooner or later...

The difference is someone else is making that choice for them.
I have empathy for someone who has a mismatch of mind/body sexual orientation. It has to be a living hell every waking moment to not have the body the mind thinks it is.
This is different than the Gaystapo. Most of those people are Gay by choice; not genetics. They choose to be abnormal. Very few Gays are homosexual by bad genes.
Real transgenders are tortured souls from childhood on.

The article says the deaths were adults taking the medicine.
Not kids
How is it even still on the market?

Blocking the natural arrival of puberty in otherwise healthy children should be considered child abuse and medical malpractice to begin with. "Trans" gender is such a normal condition that it requires extreme dysfunction and destruction to make it "work."
Whatever happened to "if it saves one child?" The trans industry is the medical equivalent to wind turbines. Thousands of deaths are worth the agenda. Or rather that they *are* the agenda.
The left leads directly to death.

It is used to treat prostate cancer and endometriosis. I took one shot 20 years ago. Instant menopause, but I still ended up with a hysterectomy. Friend takes it for cancer. Side effects are horrible. Hot flashes, depression, weight gain, loss of muscle and osteoporosis. Just what you need to give kids.
