I actually did abit of research a while back and found that the first study on puberty blockers for gender dysphory was only in 2020. Before that it was used only for prostate cancer and to slow puberty if it was started at a crazy age like 5. There still has been no long term studies suggesting if you quit taking it after puberty age there would be no perminate effects but I doubt it because at the very least you would be shorter because when men are puberty age they naturally have high levels of growth hormone and that with testosterone makes them grow taller. Taking that testosterone from them will at the least cause them to be shorter when they come off and will effect bone growth.
That's why i said that they should really think it through and that it's a big decision to make. It can affect growth, but for some of them it might be worth trying. I won't choose for them, they have to choose themselves.
Why is it like that
