I am of the view if science and medicine are not influenced by politics and political activism then the results will be revealing what most of us know by now, that 'puberty blockers' are harmful for the mental and physical health of children. The same is true for the so-called 'gender affirming care' for minors now banned in many states and has been made illegal.

Sure, it's problematic, but will prozac help? Will any of the alternatives help?
The 20 till 25 years old suicide peak is getting higher every decade, and all we do is patching it up, instead of curing the disease. So long we aren't willing to stop all the wrongs we do to our most vulnerable, we should embrace all methods to patch up the wounds.

I feel for these kids who's minds are being poisoned at such a young age, they are having their childhoods stolen from them.

If any of what you say is true, why did Child Sexual Abuse decline?
It seems it actually works the other way around.
It also seems that today's generation has learned from the past and only the handfuls that didn't die yet are using antiquated rhetorics to justify sexuall repression.
