what a load of shit. blanket bans are just lazy politics. kids need proper care not political grandstanding.
facts. can't believe we're still having this debate in 2026
exactly!! it's clinically appropriate. this is just culture war bullshit
as a med student this article is spot on. the doctors are right. puberty blockers are reversible and give kids time to decide. ban is just cruel.
nah but what about the long term effects? not convinced this is safe
i dont know much about this but seems like doctors should decide not politicians. leave it to the experts ffs

long term effects of NOT treating gender dysphoria are worse you muppet. suicide rates etc. read a paper
morning coffee and reading this... another day another government overreach. let the doctors do their job
banning puberty blockers is just gonna make things worse for those kids. typical nz government solution: make a problem bigger then blame someone else
what even is a puberty blocker? like how does it work? someone explain pls
it just pauses puberty mate. reversible when you stop. that's why it's used for kids who need more time.
lol of course the govt thinks they know better than actual doctors. bunch of wankers
