The dangers of hormone blockers for kids

Executive director of the LGBT Courage Coalition Jamie Reed spent four years at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, and what she saw is horrifying to say the least.

"Puberty, in my opinion now, is a human right," Reed tells Allie Beth Stuckey of "Relatable" regarding puberty blockers. "The body requires these steps, and the brain requires the pruning and the slowness of how puberty engages."

"I've even seen cases now in clinical studies where there are young people who are asking endocrinologists to never be put on sex hormones and ask to remain in a prepubertal status ongoing, and I've even seen ethical papers argue on the other side that this is their right and they should be able to do this. The damage to the body is just immense," she adds.
