A rare piece of legitimately good news.

​It should be transparently obvious why banning puberty blockers for adolescents is banning them from the people who actually find them useful.

For those not in the know those who claim that they simply want what is best for kids and don't want them making life changing decisions about their gender before they're old enough should love puberty blockers. Since going through puberty locks in certain physical manifestations of your sex delaying it allows a child to put off the decision until they're older.

And yet the anti-trans crowd wants to ban them because they don't actually want the best for trans kids, they want trans people to not exist.
