In reply to the discussion: Britain bans puberty blockers for transgender minors [View all]underpants
(188,365 posts)27. As my daughter explained to me, these simply block puberty they don't end it
If lets say you are born as what is considered a male but you have dysphoria, you take these to stop puberty from occurring when it normally does. If later on you determine that you do want to be a male you simply stop taking them and then you go through puberty. BUT if you dont take them and go through puberty and your decision is not to be a male then the transition is much more difficult.
