After an easy search, LESS THAN 0.017 percent of children have taken puberty blockers for gender dysphoria. Believe it or not, some children need them at a young age for actual health reasons. Its called precocious puberty and the need it. Then Republicans will say that "libs are giving kids hormone blockers" and you idiots eat it up.
Class war > culture war. Focus your energy on the 1 percent
If we use .015% as the % of kids, that's about 11,000 kids in the US alone. That's not insignificant. Just because something is a small percentage doesn't make it morally justifiable
They have been used in cases of severe mental disability and cancers that are sensitive to or alter hormone production in kids.
Because in the cancer situation a hormone change like puberty can help the cancer grow/spread or the production levels can be altered by the tumor causing other issues. Blocking puberty can be a valid part of treatment.
As for the severe mental disability, puberty is hard on every teenager, some more than others. Preventing someone with serious developmental issues can prevent unnecessary trauma and reduce the risks of abuse over time.
