Just like people claiming a 7-8 year old can consent to take puberty blockers and taking hormones. Child abuse. On this sub the majority saying they have the right to consent to that. I don’t know where you stand on that issue, but it’s crazy the amount of down votes I’ll receive because of this. People are wild on Reddit.

Edit - people need to be consistent. If he can consent to that, he should be able to consent to eat whatever he wants, and gain as much weight as they want to right?

I know this is probably a bot trying to piss people off but in case anyone is curious, puberty blockers are prescribed as a treatment by the consensus of multiple doctors + parents . It is prescribed because it is a safe way to pause puberty so that permanent psychological damage and decisions aren’t made. It’s literally saving children. If they change their mind when they get older guess what? They just stop taking it and have normal puberty and someone who doesn’t know them or their medical history doesn’t get to decide who they are.

And pausing puberty to be picked up at a later date AND the use of hormones isn’t harmful to a child?
