Missouri bill would revoke medical license of doctors who prescribe gender-affirming hormones for children


Every weekday, pediatricians see patients at Gender Pathway Services of Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City and the Transgender Center of the St. Louis Children’s Hospital. For the young patients, an appointment can mark a turning point in their lives.

Transgender children visit the clinics at the onset of puberty to receive puberty blockers. These reversible medications, also prescribed to young cisgender children who begin puberty before their peers, postpone the onset of sexual maturation as long as patients take them.

For some children, this pause allows more time to decide whether they want to pursue medical gender transition. And it gives their parents time to become more comfortable with their child’s gender. Once a family is ready, a team of pediatricians moves forward with hormone replacement therapy for teenagers.

Need to grow the fuck up.

.
They say masks are a personal choice as they die off. And religion is always a choice freedumb

Transgender hormones and surgeries save trans lives there is no choice involved. But they want to claim its a choice and take it away from others and people they never met.the fucking stupid shits.

I guess that "tradition"of
genderbased d ivision of labor( women are to be in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant while men go do important things and dominate the domicile) lies under thier bullshit.

To be on top,there needs to be a bottom.

Guess who these white boy shitheads will push to the bottom so they can dominate like a bunch of chimps? It begins with a w.
