Donald Jones DDS+FollowOG Puberty Blocker Patient Calls Out TrendThe first-ever person to take puberty blockers is speaking out, and wow—he’s not holding back. After pioneering the treatment in the '80s and living happily as a man, he says today’s youth gender movement feels more like a trend than a lifeline. He thinks all the focus on pronouns and gender identity is making a mockery of what real dysphoria is about. For him, it was life or death—not a fashion statement.

Jason Weaver+FollowPuberty Blockers for Kids? Most Say No WayDid you know nearly half of voters think doctors should never prescribe puberty blockers to kids? Another 29% say only with parental consent. Only 10% are cool with it happening without parents involved. This poll is sparking a ton of debate about what’s safe for minors and who should decide. With more awareness about the risks, the pushback is getting louder—and now the Supreme Court might even weigh in. Wild times for this hot-button issue! #PubertyBlockers #ParentingDebate #HealthNews #PublicOpinion #SupremeCourt #Health83151Share
Sarah Bennett+FollowNIH’s Puberty Blocker Study: What’s Really Up?Did you know the NIH has spent over $3 million studying if puberty blockers help trans kids’ mental health? Kids as young as 8 are part of this, but the long-term effects are still a big question mark. Some experts say the risks (like bone issues and sexual development problems) aren’t fully disclosed. The study’s being hyped by advocacy groups, but critics worry it’s more about pushing an agenda than real science. Would you let your kid join a study like this? #PubertyBlockers #TransYouth #NIH #Parenting #HealthNews #Health1888Share
