I had wanted to write more but had to cut it short because of their restriction on the number of characters that I was permitted to use. This was my response:-<br /><br />"A Dutch study has shown that there were no adverse effects once cross-sex hormone therapy was started or the person stopped treatment and went through their normal puberty.<br />Suicide ideation amongst trans people stands at around 84% according to most current surveys of trans people and around 45% actually attempt suicide. This is a huge risk to take for your children - as one mother said "I would rather have a transgender daughter than a dead son". For those who are voting in favour of this article - which would you rather have, please think about that.<br />By withholding treatment parents would be forcing their child to undergo expensive and painful treatments later on in life (facial hair removal, FFS surgery and possibly breast augmentation surgery for M2F trans people and mastectomies for F2M trans people).<br />Puberty blockers have been used since the 1980's with no serious side effects on girls experiencing the onset of a very early puberty."Carol Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091526494219757399noreply@blogger.com
