i am not saying that it's completely harmless but if you have a suicidal teen who freaks out bc of dysphoria it may be a valuable tool.
trans acceptance can lead to more research to make these medication safer, all trans ppl and allies want that and no one wants to have side effects but the pros outweight the cons for many trans people who suffer from bad dysphoria.
Yes, I re-read and explained what they said about its uses on prostate cancer, but your translator got it wrong
Perhaps because I don't really find it safe for a kid to take hormones (as a kid, you're going through different phases and I find it ridiculous to try to give the kid hormones when you don't really know if they may feel the same way in a few years. + you can not really reverse most effects, which could worsen the situation).
What I find understandable is that you start giving them hormones when they've been through puberty and are now perhaps even adults and can take a decision and understand the risks.
I believe that they should get a (severe? I don't know how to describe it) therapy to treat the dysphoria while the kid keeps growing and understanding different concepts before taking anything.
Let the kid dress and express how they want first and see if they're actually just GNC kids. If not, then hormone treatment
