Feel free to elaborate. It sounds like a poorly-disguised dogwhistle to me, but I'm not a site moderator nor a psychic.

The major medical societies in the US hold that prescribing puberty blockers for trans youth -- after clinically-competant assessment -- is good, solid, evidence-based healthcare.

Many people have their own feelings about other peoples' children and how they're raised. People can examine their own discomfort with how the modern world is making room for individual expressions of gender and it's diversity. (Of course, some processing is best done privately, with a therapist.)

But until meeting some young people whose access to necessary care has been delayed long enough for the rest of their lives to be marked and stigmatized by the irreversible changes of a harmful puberty, one should trust the doctors, families, and individuals whose lives are directly affected.
