Marijuana and alcohol can give kids permanent brain damage.
Tattoos are virtually permanent.
Surgery to change genitals is permanent.
These are things that the government should prevent kids from participating in.
I don't understand why puberty blockers are in that category. It's none of our business.

Well, two that are known are bone density impairment and stunted growth. Pretty much everything else falls under the category of 'unknown'. It's pretty funny that most of the literature says that they are 'relatively safe', but then follow up with disclaimers that potential negative effects on various bodily systems is 'unknown'. So i guess unknown is the new 'safe'. Sounds like double talk to me.
