    Which is what would happen if they decided not to go thru with transitioning as an adult…

    That is quite obviously an assumption. You are extrapolating data and although I see the logic of your argument, it’s bad science. The rest of your comment is based on this premise.

      What?

      You said:

      The forty years worth of proof you are referring to is in almost all cases where the use was to block early puberty and then allow it to take it’s course at a normal age.

      And I replied:

      Which is what would happen if they decided not to go thru with transitioning as an adult…

      If someone goes on puberty blockers, decides not to transition…

      Then that is:

      where the use was to block early puberty and then allow it to take it’s course at a normal age.

      You keep saying your issue is with puberty blockers, but the only complaints you have is minors transitioning.

      Since that doesn’t happen, you seem to be mad at blockers

        I’ve said everything I have to say and I can see trying to explain myself further will be fruitless.

        If you honestly think that a child could block puberty up to the age of 18 or further and then change their mind and go through a normal puberty like nothing ever happened, then good for you, personally, I’m doubtful.

          You know you can just not reply…

          You don’t need to reply and say you’re not replying again like it’s a warning.

          I am fully ok with you spreading less misinformation about simple science on the Internet. It would be better if you actually understood anything we just talked about. But at this point just being silent is helping, so at least you kind of did the right thing in the end.

            It’s not a warning, I’m just old enough to know pigeon chess when I see it.

            Who knows, maybe we’ll get twenty years down the line, the evidence will be there and I’ll be amazed at how wrong I was!

            Good luck to you, I wish you all the best.

              You keep saying that, as you actively keep shitting on the chess board.

              I explained this as patiently and simply as is possible…

              If you’re gonna keep replying just admit your problem with puberty blockers is their existence allows adults to transition easier.

              It’s a bigoted opinion, but at least it would be honest

                And here we are. “tRaNsPhObE!”

                I’ve explained my point of view succinctly, we disagree, but it has nothing to do with transphobia.

                Honestly, people like you are your own worst enemy. Shame on you.

                  You act like you get called a transphobe frequently…

                  Which would make sense if you were never asking in good faith and I’m far from the first person who has taken the time to attempt to explain and reached the same conclusion.

                  How often does this happen to you?

                  Did you ever stop and consider why other people aren’t constantly being told their views are transphobic?

                  You do realize that’s rare, right?

                  It’s notable if it keeps happening to someone by different unconnected people…

                    I know that when you don’t wholly agree with a person that unquestionably goes along with dogma regarding trans rights that it’s only matter of time until the “transphobe” card comes out. It’s no different to debating a Zionist about Palestine’s right to exist, sooner or later you’re going to be accused of being an anti-Semite.

                    I don’t think that being concerned that children might make decisions they later regret makes me a transphobe, but if you do, you’re entitled to your opinion.

                    I’ve already conceded that we’re clearly not going to change eachothers minds on the issue. How long are we going to keep banging our heads on the wall?
