As such, the effects are REVERSABLE if or when someone was to "change their mind."

I've put a handy little link below where you can find a bunch of fantastic information on the subject. It's been reviewed and a-okay'ed by Dr. Johanna Olson of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Puberty-blockers would have saved me the humiliation of my chest being attacked by breasts, having to carry around two dangling masts for 20 years, and a surgical amputation procedure to have them removed (on top of sooooo much more that involves a lack of support, deep self-hatred, and an impeded will to live.)

God bless all the parents who support and love their LGBTQQI kids!!! Especially those of you who have kids who identify on the trans-spectrum or outside the standard duality of gender... The world has a lot of opinions- listen to your kids, listen to your hearts. They know who they feel they are meant to be!
