On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)

    So you’re fine with Europe blocking/changing/halting/modifying/specifying/altering/excluding the use of puberty blockers?

      That’s a lot of verbs for a simple answer.

      I’m fine with medical experts making medical decisions based on patient needs and scientific consensus.
      Scientific consensus is currently in flux because recent studies have conflicted with earlier studies.
      Advising that different treatment options take priority while additional research is done isn’t wrong.

      When elected officials and the general public start dictating what treatments people are allowed to get regardless of medical opinion or patient wishes I start to get concerned that it’s less about patient care and more about public opinion.

        You took offence at me using the wrong word.

        But yeah, at the moment, more and more medical bodies are looking at the effectiveness of puberty blockers and deciding it’s detrimental to health.

          I took no offense, just explaining that there are too many verbs for me to say “yes” or “no”, and so I couldn’t reply to your yes or no question other than with a restatement of my feelings.
