People have been focusing on the "risk" part of it, when what she said was actually even dumber.
You take Aspirin to reduce pain, and shit like kidney failure is a side-effect which is a rare and unintentional reaction. When you block puberty...blocking puberty is the entire point. Weak bones, micropenis, impotence, and emotional incontinence aren't a "risk," it's something you did intentionally, and happens literally every single time, because puberty is the growth beyond those problems.
Only to liberals could you have to explain that if you break your legs, your legs are broken.
If Aspirin worked the way sex changes and hormone blockers did, if they were actually comparable the way she understands it, it would be by rotting your organs until the nerves died and you couldn't feel the pain anymore.
