Hey, thanks for the link! I'm not sure that the article is too relevant though, since it is about the effects of puberty blocker in treatment of precocious puberty.

Which brings us to the reason why I linked to the Economist article; it gives a pretty good overview about the various concerns of various groups and gives some rudimentary overview about the current understanding. It's pretty hard for laypersons to really understand the jargon in all these papers and it's easy to overlook subtle but important details.

I think my point still stands; we don't know enough yet. We need more research.

The second article was about trans kids.

Aside from that, sure. I’m up for more research (that doesn’t harm trans kids - smarter people than I know experiment designs which don’t result in people receiving subpar treatment for years on end). More research on trans people is welcome, there’s fuck-all of it out there, and now the meantime, we must do our best to use what we do know to help people.

I think we can agree on that.
