How people medically transition isn’t as easy as one thinks. First, you contact your doctor and you talk about your health history and your fertility concerns. Your doctor will explain all of your options to you to help you pick the right treatments for you. There’s pills, creams, injections, patches, you name it! But hormone therapy typically doesn’t start until at least the age of 16, because there are side effects that purposefully reduce the masculine or feminine features of a person that do concern some people. For example, taking hormone replacement can reduce sexual drive. Transwomen will have their testicles shrink and get less erections. But their hips will get bigger, their skin gets smoother, and their facial hair will decrease. As for fertility concerns, people usually people freeze their sperm or eggs before the treatment if they want to have biological kids. There are some risks to *HRT (*hormone replacement therapy) including blood clots, weight gain, heart problems, high blood pressure, etc. These can be reduced however with medical assistance by doctors. Most trans people begin on puberty blockers when they’re young so they can live as their preferred gender to see if HRT is the next step for them or if they feel that gender transition isn't for them. For really young people, like preteens with gender dysphoria. It usually starts at social transitioning, where no medical intervention is used. It’s usually just a name, pronoun, and clothing change. They start living as the opposite gender to see if they’re really trans or not, and if they are trans, they usually get puberty blockers around or before puberty starts so that they won’t have to go through the puberty of the body they don’t want. Like, imagine a trans man going through all this effort to present as masculine as possible, only to get your period or grow boobs. It’d be mortifying. I think that trans people should get sex-changes if they want, because it makes them mentally healthier. Denying them that will mean they'll inevitably fall into deep depression.
Surgery is not “mutilation.” If that was the case, we would ban people from getting broken legs fixed, getting face jobs, and doing any type of dissecting and rearranging of the body. Things like plastic surgery, reconstructive mammoplasty, and testicular implants are common for both transgender and non-transgender patients. So why is there only a taboo, if not outright ban, for one group of people from getting these procedures? …Oh, I get it. It’s only bad when minorities get privileges majorities have.
“What happens during genital surgery? Do they chop your penis off?”
That is an oversimplification. Vaginoplasty as a surgery rather flips genitals “inside-out” and reshapes penises and vaginas rather than removing them. It is also used on non-transgender women to repair vaginal injury due to childbirth and to help pelvic floor disease complications. Spironolactone is the main testosterone blocker used for trans women, but in some cases it is also used for treating high blood pressure in cis women too. Transphobes complain about consenting adults getting these surgeries and spreading the myth of children under the age of 18 years old getting these surgeries (even though children do not receive these procedures), yet I’ve never seen a single transphobe advocate the banning of circumcision, which is literally the surgical removal of the skin on the tip of the penis on newborn boys. That is a non-consensual altercation of a child’s genitals. Where’s the outcry for circumcision, though? Where’s the demand for the government banning circumcision? Because it’s for cisgender people, there is no outcry. But often corrupt politicians and phony scientists will often tout the lie of transgender children being the only ones receiving gender affirming surgeries. But again, children do not get gender affirming surgeries until they are over the age of 18. The only bottom surgery that is being done on minors without their consent is on intersex babies to make them conform to societal sex norms. These nonconsensual sex surgeries on intersex people can lead to medical problems later in life and that is why it’s important for people of all ages to have bodily autonomy.
“What are puberty blockers?”
“Puberty blocker medications contain stable amounts of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs, which help suppress sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Once these hormones are “blocked,” the physical changes that would occur during puberty are paused.” - Cleveland Clinic
Puberty blockers are basically used to- not stop- but pause the effects of puberty in children. A puberty blocker is a short-term solution to children experiencing gender dysphoria or precocious puberty. It stops the process for as long as a child is using the medication. Once usage stops, puberty will resume. Puberty blockers are administered by a healthcare provider through injections or an implant that goes under the skin. In order for puberty blockers to keep working, injections must be received monthly or every few months, and implants have to be replaced yearly. They’ve even been used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, breast cancer and endometriosis. Negative side effects are both minimal and easily reversible. Bone density is a concern because puberty blockers decrease bone mineral density that hinder bone growth. Once a child goes off of a puberty blocker, the bone mineral density increases. Doctors use an increase of vitamin D and calcium to help combat this. Rashes, headaches, and weight gain are also concerns: nothing fatal or uncurable. Studies have shown that it can drastically improve the mental health of young people. They also used puberty blockers on kids that have developed breast cancer, as it stops the cancer from growing along with breast tissue. The American Academy of Pediatrics showed that transgender teens who were able to receive puberty blockers experienced superior mental health outcomes when compared with those who wanted the medication but did not receive it.
“Does this mean they’re giving kids drugs?”
No one is giving kids irreversible/untested drugs. Puberty blockers have been used for decades prior on kids with minimal side effects such as weight gain and headaches (which were easily atoned for with proper medical assistance and responsible usage). Puberty blockers are reversible and can be stopped at any time. My adult transgender friend, Diana, is in her 50s. She still must take hormone replacement and puberty blockers. If she stops taking them, she will revert back to male puberty even as a grown adult. It’s reversible even in adulthood. Hormone therapy replaces puberty with the opposite sex's puberty, while puberty blockers simply pause it. These treatments are not even given to adults without heaps of therapy visits and doctor's notes, much less kids. Unlike what anti-LGBTQ+ media claims, it's not easy to get access to trans medical care, especially for kids and teens. The process can take months, even years, to even get approved for puberty blockers. These treatments aren't given out to anyone who asks; it takes a lot of effort to even confirm that these treatments might help others. The people giving these gender affirming treatments as well as the receivers do know the risks and are willing to take it. And just because some people see it as too big a risk, doesn't mean we should ban people from using them. Driving a car increases chances of death, but we don't ban people from driving. Even with the risks attached, these drugs have been proven to help a lot of people with mental health issues, body dysphoria, and depression. I do believe we should be giving these treatments to the people who truly need it, even if they are young if they have the evidence to deserve it.
Cross-gender behaviors can begin as early as 2 years old, which is the start of the developmental period in which children begin expressing gendered behaviors and interests. Early-onset gender dysphoria typically starts in childhood and continues into adolescence and adulthood; late-onset gender dysphoria, on the other hand, occurs around puberty or much later in life. This is according to Psychology Today:
If a child is so severely depressed or troubled due to struggles with being LGBTQ+, then it’s time to accept the truth that the kid is LGBTQ+, and has to get help to accept themselves as a queer person. Mental harm is extremely serious, even deadly. And some treatments for mental harm is physical change, like gender transitioning. Even during the transitional period for children, children aren’t allowed hormones or surgeries until the age of 18. The most they’re given are reversible puberty blockers and this period of time is mostly reserved for social transition (new name, clothes, pronouns, etc.) If the child discovers that they are not transgender, they can return to their previous gender identity by stopping the social transitions and puberty blockers.
