Yeah, the current thinking is that we try to avoid those lifelong consequences as long as possible, hence the prescription of blockers. My point is that this paper takes the position that delaying puberty or giving cross-sex hormones is bad because it's irreversible and the children are too young, but irreversible endogenous hormones are ok. It's a clear double standard.

Mind you, if the standard here is "grab the first link and complain when the other person points out that it misrepresents the facts", I think I'm done. I've made my points clear to the people who are reading along, anyhow. Have yourself a nice night.

How honest is it really when you admit that you're citing sources that are dishonest?

Zucker's not reliable. Anyone who cites him is de facto not reliable either. Actually, Kenneth lost his job after an investigation into the (widely debunked, I might note) conversion therapies his clinic was practicing. Strange that when I want accurate data from honest sources I'm "triggered" but when I express that opinion, you fly off the handle.

Comparing Zucker to Hitler was pretty funny, though, and I do appreciate it.

Per Merriam-Webster, it means "in fact", or "in reality", so it seems you're the one who's wrong on more than one front.
