What is "transgender healthcare for minors"?

[–] gramathy@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Puberty blockers, any any acknowledgment by a medical professional that they might be trans and treating them on a personal level in that way.

Probably also includes counseling or psych treatment for depression and anxiety and suicidality related to this plus preventing doctors from using preferred names or pronouns while also closing resources that these kids could have turned to for community support. The cruelty is the point.
