Amazing response, Kat! Thank you so much for writing it. You said some of the things that were on the tip of my tongue, which I would have mentioned in the article had I taken more time on it. First, that it hurts to watch your body pubesce when you are transgender (I remember the fear and frustration I went through), and that puberty blockers take away that psychological harm. Second, that this is not a “live experiment on children” — the adolescents have agency; we should not downplay their intelligence and their ability to know and choose what they want. 💓
