In the short term, giving a child with gender dysphoria cross-sex hormones may give him or relief because something is being done, but these hormones stunt growth and have bad long-term effects.

This article is actually a letter to the editor. However it puts forth a very good argument. The teens that go into the system for “”gender affirming care” perhaps have some outcomes better due to their intense ongoing relationship with the medical field....rather than the drugs and surgeries are being subjected to. Thus the placebo affect which even simple suggestion can lead to immense psychosomatic effects (upwards of 36%) compared to no such treatment.

I imagine the parent(s) of the gender bender “medical treatment” victims just revel in all that positive attention and affirmation of their virtue.

We do not even know all the ways puberty affects the systems in the person. There are ling and brain changes during puberty as well, and when they say loss of sexual function, it means they are unable to experience any sexual feelings, including orgasm.

When you give girls and women testosterone, it is like speed or something. It is a really powerful effect. No wonder they feel better!

Additionally, men have a higher tendency towards violence because of testosterone. Guess what? A female’s tendency to violence increases when she is given testosterone.

Unfortunately, a male’s tendency to violence is *not* correspondingly reduced by taken estrogen.
