Puberty Blockers Adversely Impact Fertility and Cognitive Function
Transgender medicine is a giant experiment being performed in academic medical centers involving endocrinologists, pediatricians, gynecologists, urologists, and plastic surgeons
There are no long-term randomized trials comparing the package of transgender medicine (puberty blockers, hormones, surgery) versus cognitive behavioral therapy and progression through normal puberty for children and adolescents largely with autism spectrum disorder diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
There is great concern that transgender medicine causes harm and as a result, it has been banned in 25 US States for children < 18 years.
Elon Musk recently disclosed on an interview with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson that he has figuratively lost his son to the WOKE transgender mind virus after he was injected with puberty blockers.
Betsi et al recently reviewed the adverse effect profile of available puberty blockers used in transgender medicine.
The side effects are considerable from hot flashes, headaches, mood swings (65 percent), increases in fat, decreases in growth/height, bone loss, worsened cardiovascular risk factors (glucose, lipids, blood pressure), and most importantly sterility and potential impairment of brain function.
The Endocrine Society recommends informing parents that sperm and eggs may be collected before the impending drug-induced sterility is initiated with puberty blockers.
So Musk was not far off when he said he lost his son to puberty blockers. He did not feel fully informed of the risks as a parent.
This high-profile vignette and the available data should cause all parents to be wary of the irreversible and harmful effects of puberty blockers given to pre-adolescents.
These data support additional statewide and countrywide bans on transgender programs in the youth.
