The first link isn't actually policy, it is a recommendation from an organization.

The second link has this little bit. "All genital surgeries are only performed on patients age 18 and older."

Can't say I am familiar enough with the science to make a judgement on that one way or another. I can confidently say that the links you provided don't support your claim though.

So I’m going to do a slight jump in here and say that hormone blockers are given to kids in certain places. Some of these “hormone blockers” have been known to be used for failing liver treatments. I don’t care what people want to do with their body it’s none of my business really and I could care less but to be giving stuff like that to minors for improper use is dangerous stuff. I believe even Bari Weiss came out with this information too

Viagra is a heart medication. It is fairly common in medicine for things to have multiple applications. This information alone doesn't prove any particular point.

Say what you want. I have a lot of different opinions on different topics but this is just bad. People getting played by social pressure just so pharmaceutical companies can reap profits off of something else all while laughing in our faces lying about everything

That is generally how that works on public forums but I am glad I have your permission I suppose.

Yes, that is how humans tend to operate.

Your comment fails to prove any of the things you are saying. Yes, pharmaceutical companies can be exceptionally shitty but that doesn't mean every use of drugs as treatments is an example of that. If you want to prove that transgender treatments are a scheme by pharmaceuticals the bar for evidence should be a bit higher then your feelings.

Oh please that’s all policy is created on anymore is people’s feelings so what are you on about?

Edit: also your other two points are snarky and useless

Do you think we should be making important life changing decisions based off of claims where no supporting evidence is provided, or is it just the claims you make?

>also your other two points are snarky and useless

Snarky, yes, useless no. Consider it constructive criticism on your writing style, which uses a lot of words to say nothing in an attempt to sound bipartisan even though I really don't care what your political alignment is. I just want you to support your claims.

Just FYI, asking for verification of claims isn't debating.
