She's mainly being pulled apart in the comments due to, you know, lying.

No doubt in my mind that she's getting puberty blockers and the contraceptive pill mixed up.

Such a shame as I have been following her since my early 20's and found her feminism very accessible back then.

Am I being unreasonable to say she's talking nonsense??

Someone needs to tell her she is absolutely wrong and sounds quite ignorant

Oh don't worry, everyone in the replies are!

Someone posted a link to the statistics of Precocious Puberty showing it's 1 in 150,000.
Must have been a fucking big school!

Who is she? Whoever she is she is not very bright to mix up the Pill and puberty blockers! Embarrassing.

I think puberty blockers would have been used for precocious puberty. They were then used for gender dysphoria.

Yes, the oral contraceptive pill was prescribed for heavy periods.

Puberty blockers...no.

Where do people get these ideas from??

Yeah, sounds like rubbish, was the pill.

Lifeaintalwaysempty · 14/04/2021 08:11

She’s talking dangerous nonsense. What happened to her!

Queenoftheashes · 14/04/2021 08:11

Yeah you would have been given the pill not puberty blockers, that’s hilarious

BadGherkin · 14/04/2021 08:11

Absolutely no one would be put on PUBERTY BLOCKERS for heavy periods. Many at my all girl school were on the pill for period issues, but the contraceptive pill is NOT a puberty blocker.

Someone needs to tell her she is absolutely wrong and sounds quite ignorant.

No, you're not. Jameela often gets herself in a pickle.

I took the pill for heavy periods at school. No one ever, ever mentioned or offered puberty blockers as an option. And to be honest, I've never seen that as an option ever since.

Yes I also was at school in the 90's and absolutely never heard of anyone on puberty blockers AT ALL let alone for heavy periods. I did however know at least two of my friends said they took the contraception pill for heavy periods or acne.

Yes she’s talking nonsense and she seems to have a tendency to do this, quite a lot of the time.
