Help me - speaking out on trans issues

[crunchermuncher]

Hello I'm hoping for some help/ advice. The backlash to the Lynne Truss announcements is really getting to me - it's disinformation verging on propaganda.

I couldn't stand all the ranting on my fb feed so was prompted to post a moderate comment about how it might be in children's best interests to prevent them embarking on medication which may make them sterile, and I think it's worrying that puberty blockers are being presented by some groups as reversible with no side effects.

Predictably, I'm getting jumped all over for 'spouting nonsense' , told to educate myself and accused of wanting teenagers to commit suicide

Can anyone link me to any studies / official sources about the effects these drugs have? I know I've read about them but don't have sources to hand and am feeling quite stressed between trying to home school ( aaagh ) and getting a public dressing down online.

Feel relieved to have finally spoken out though. Please give me a virtual high five!

2ndstar anecdotally, I was prescribed Testagel after years of trying to get if from various gynaecologists (NHS and private) as I had oestrogen positive breast cancer and was post menopause and suffering. I hated it, weird mental side effects and I stopped after a month. I managed to get it on the NHS from a sympathetic female gynae who wasn't convinced it would work for me but was willing to let me try.

Vortex . I’m fortunate to not have BRCA2 but others in my family have been affected. That is most interesting, thank you. I am frequently frustrated with the difficulties of being female in medical care but ultimately would far rather they exist than all rules get binned when declaring trans. It’s not safe.
