I thought of this after I posted the other post, was this picture taken in America???
I would think the parents and the doctor would be arrested for allowing a youth to do this irreparable harm to his body.
They are in the States, the program is at Boston Children’s Hospital.
An endocrinologist can prescribe puberty blockers and other hormones without restriction... no law governs this. On the other hand no law protects a physician against lawsuits either.
Generally, puberty blockers are the first step followed later by estrogen.
Interestingly, testosterone is a controlled substance while estrogen is not. This is because of the misguided use of steroids by athletes and bodybuilders...a very stupid practice.
