The announcement comes days after a massive mobilization of the LGBTQ+ collective in repudiation of President Javier Milei’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, during which he slammed “wokeism,” feminism and referred to homosexuals as “pedophiles.”

That's what my parents told me when I said I was likely to kill myself without hormones. Needless to say, I got hormones and I am still here, but I will never get back the time I lost and I will never have the childhood socialization that I missed. I will never see my parents the same.

It haunts me a lot that I couldn't have started at 15 because my parents wanted me to be "normal" and for them to not have hard conversations. This is also the reason they didn't want me on anti-depressants even though I was massively depressed.

All this to say that maybe you should listen to doctors and trans people about why these things are necessary. Puberty blockers aren't even permanent.
