Dr Hilary Cass says the issue of puberty blockers has become "almost totemic".

Needless to say, there is no evidence that SSRIs treat gender dysphoria in minors. But if you watch the video, she calls these treatments "evidenced-based".
so what did she mean by this?
Presumably, she means there is evidence they treat depression. Which would only be relevant if one believed gender dysphoria was not a real diagnosis. 
Any credibility she or the NHS may have had on the international stage after releasing the embarrassing Cass report is completely shot. 
Of course, that won't stop the Bongs from torturing their own kind for amusement, a Bongish pastime that they never grow tired of. What silly rules and regulations will they think of next?

The SSRI I took made me feel like I was vibing 24/7 and I literally couldn't stop smiling. I stopped though because it made
impossible for like 24 hours after each pill. I would take them forever if they could fix that bug.

Seems pretty straght forward, you treat the little pooners or cute twinks for deppression and anxiety and you see whats left after those symptoms are better.
Puberty blockers is doesnt seem too do much for dysphoria in terms of improved mental state.

The point of puberty blockers is to prevent dysphoria from worsening as puberty develops. As per the Mayo Clinic, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, substance misuse and other problems are symptoms downstream of dysphoria. It's like taking Tyenol and refusing to get chemo for your brain tumor until your headaches go away

well im gonna expect american globohomo socety to just point the arrow of causality whatever way best serve their agenda, I hardly believe they can prove causality that way.
You seen in other instances where they argue why certain things are correct, well thats because of the "super official" guidelines, and why are the guidelines correct? Because they are
super official guidelines.

It's hilarious that internet troids think they know better than the person who led the biggest systematic review.

"The biggest systematic review" what does that even mean. She's a government lackey who published an essay for the government because it couldn't pass peer review and no reputable journal would publish it

We don't want kids to grow up with brittle bones and a micro-peen. Also, why did doctors almost completely stop using puberty blockers on girls with precocious puberty?

Let's give a drug that treats something else and increases suicidality for this disorder that causes suicidality
because.... as a conservative i care about LGBT fertility or something

If someones already likely suicidal, what's wrong with giving them something that might make them suicidal when it might actually help them in the end? Lots of drugs have terrible potential side effects, but doctors weigh the pros and cons to see what would be the least harmful choice.

There is no evidence to suggest SSRIs cure gender dysphoria. It's needlessly increasing suicidality to avoid giving the best available treatment, which are the remarkably safe opposite s*x hormones estrogen/testosterone that everyone has in their bodies and are only controversial because it makes social conservatives uncomfortable

I thought we were talking about puberty blockers? Nobody wants to give kids something that would permanently change their bodies, right?

Aren't they already suicidal? Seems like a better risk than permanently damaging their bodies.
