Google it then. SPeak to a Dr. Look up articles and research in medical journals. Thats what I do before making a decision on a subject. Unfortunately I had a team of Drs throwing information at me that was hair raising. I promise, Im not being an ass this time.. though I am 99% of the time. I very sincerely invite you to do some research on it and its simply not only not wirth the risk but there is no guarantee that the effects will be what youre predicting they will be when being given to a changing body.
As far as my heart goes, I dont give one good goddamn who youre poking or what or what you do behind closed doors as long as its not with kids or puppies ( or.. chickens etc) but this isnt about sex, TG, TS, whatever.. this is about children and their physiology ... and future being effected by Dr Frankenstein big pharma.

People are nuts, I would not even give my dog the snip, when he was a puppy, because his breed has issues when there older and there not growing properly because of it.
But I guess its OK to give kids hormones and puberty blocking drugs as its trendy to do so.

That's over 1,000 deaths per year over the six-year period.
Much more likely, Safer said, is that the 6,370 deaths over four decades the FDA lists as connected to this drug are in terminally ill cancer patients who are prescribed Lupron as a palliative, not curative, treatment.
“Every decision in medicine involves weighing risks and benefits,” said Jack Turban, a resident physician in psychiatry who researches transgender youth at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Turban said that for trans youth, “the potential mental health benefits of pubertal suppression far outweigh any potential risks.”
“Allowing puberty to progress is not a neutral decision for many transgender youth,” Turban said. “Many of these youth see their mental health drastically deteriorate as puberty starts to progress. While pubertal suppression is reversible, puberty itself is not.”

...hormones proposed to give to her for her condition have nothing to do with hormones given to someone else for a completely different condition.

Because the magical gender essence of trans kids protects them from the same negative side effects and adverse events other kids suffer??? Of course not.
Drugs are drugs and do what they do, good and bad, for better and worse, to trans kids and every kid.
A survey of trans people in the UK found that a completed medical transition was shown to greatly reduce rates of suicidal ideation and attempts, in contrast to those at other stages of transition (imminently transitioning or beginning transition). 67% of transitioning people thought about suicide pre-transition and only 3% post-transition (Bailey et al., 2014).
