I will truly never understand why people believe that utterly uncontrolled endogenous hormones are uniformly great and just fine and never, ever, medically problematic but controlled exogenous ones are automatically horrible and dangerous. I spent 2 very long pre-surgery years dealing with exceptionally horrific, medically dangerous abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endogenous hormones... that could only be slowed (and never actually stopped) via sky-high doses of exogenous ones. The exogenous hormones literally kept me from bleeding so heavily I required transfusion, though, which meant I could lead a relatively normal life until my doctors finally authorized hysterectomy. Access to exogenous hormone management (including blockers) is vitally important medicine for human people. They have many, many uses for people trans and cis and intersex and as a bonus they can also help grow some lovely breasts.

Puberty blockers are already used for cis children who get early onset puberty when they're like 6-8 years old and it's completely safe. It's only when it's a trans kid or a kid who's over the age of 10 that people start freaking out and acting like you're ruining the kid's life by robbing them of - looks at notes - ... The traumatic experience of being sexualized as a child...

P.s. fantastic tits, great work 🫡
