A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Alabama can enforce a ban outlawing the use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat transgender children, the second such appellate victory for gender-affirming care restrictions that have been adopted by a growing number of Republican-led states.
Decisions such as these should be taken by medical professionals, not judges or politicians. Unfortunately in the US both parties are entrenched in their “we are right and they are wrong” mentally with little regard to what the actual data say.
Norway, Finland, Sweden and the UK all limit or restrict hormones and puberty blockers for children, and a growing number of European countries are considering doing the same until a thorough review of clinical data and outcomes can be made. But any mention of putting guardrails on these treatments here iin the US is branded as “transphobia”, even when those recommendations are made by experts in their respective fields.
Shhhh, this is the internet and only tribalistic partisan analyses are allowed. Why don’t you shut up and move to a brutally fascist country like checks notepad Norway, Finland, or Sweden, you bigot?
