Puberty blockers for trans kids are reversible. [View all]

We aren't talking non reversible surgical procedures. These are hormones that prevent certain sexual characteristics to take place. For a lot of trans kids these are the answer to make them feel right with their bodies. It can help keep trans kids from suicidal ideation or other self destructive behaviors. It is REVERSIBLE!!!!! I can understand not allowing surgical procedures on kids 16 or under. I don't agree, especially with counselling and parental approval. But, reversible puberty blockers? OMG! Let these kids feel OK within their own skin!!
