Transgender women and two of the world's top surgeons for gender reassignment procedures - Dr Marci Bowers and Dr Erica Anderson - have expressed their concern about some of the trends among transitioning kids. They have revealed there's been a dangerous uptick in the percentage of kids who are being given puberty blockers and undergoing surgery, and have described the rise in these procedures as deeply worrying.


For those who are new to the subject, puberty blockers as the name suggests are drugs that would aid in halting puberty among individuals who identify as trans as well as those who are still exploring their options. These drugs block testosterone and estrogen which are hormones that contribute to puberty-related changes occurring in an individual's body. These blockers will stop the development of breasts and getting periods among individuals assigned female at birth. For those assigned male at birth, these blockers will stop facial hair growth and deepening of the voice. This helps young people to decide on how and when they would like to transition. The most commonly used blocker is the Gonadotropic-releasing hormone, according to multiple reports.


Early puberty blockage not good
Bowers and Anderson spoke out in Bari Weiss's Substack newsletter, Common Sense, against some of the trends for transgender youngsters, including administering blockers which they say if given too young can cause irreversible consequences for a person who might change their mind later. Bowers, a renowned vaginoplasty specialist who operated on reality star Jazz Jennings said she is "not a fan" of putting children in the early stages of puberty on blockers. This is a technique doctors use when young people are questioning their gender, a method that can help maintain more feminine looks for boys.
