Puberty Blockers | Carla Rockmore 

I truly appreciate that!

Well said 👏

I agree it should stay a PRIVATE matter and not spread all over social media one would have thought.

@@janjames2120Then how is awareness of actual accurate information supposed to be available? Because it’s misinformation that led this wonderful mother/daughter duo to come to their platform and correct the (mis)information being spread around so that others would be able to better understand what it’s actually like.

Puberty blockers are not FDA approved. Giving your child experimental drugs is insane. Why would injecting experimental drugs into a CHILD that could cause delayed growth plate closure, leading to slightly taller adult height. Less development of genital tissue, which may limit options for gender affirming surgery (bottom surgery) later in life as well as a myriad of other probable negative effects be PRIVATE? It's child abuse.

Thank you for being here 🙏 sending love to you both

Shame on you. If your transgender child one day gets to the point of regretting this decision and they commit suicide, the blood is on your hands. I can’t believe you’ve allowed yourself to be brainwashed in this way.

So you have a daughter who has been told be the people who should have loved her as she was that she needed to change herself to get that love and acceptance? Shame on you.

​@@s.basgic7828 On spot 👏🏽

​@@s.basgic7828You are so full of ignorance and uneducated. Inform yourself properly before spitting hate.

I’m sure that this is your responsibility to research if you are moved by these stories. Don’t sit in ignorance. Even if you’re led to the same perspective you have now, at least it will be educated

The effects are terrible, there are a lot of studies about this, this should not be recommended, they are kids.

Nickie tutorials seems fine. In fact she's doing great, she's a famous multimillionaire.

​@@melopsicodeliaPlease inform yourself properly.

@@karl-heinzbrohme5890 On what? Pleeeeease let me know, what magic information do you have?

I agree. It's so important to educate ❤️❤️ thank you for this kind message and being here 🙏

Yes!!!!

I do hope that you know what the side effects, mostly permanent, of these drugs are.

@@stj971that’s why she said a private conversation with their physician, the expert.

​@@stj971hence why she said that it should be conducted in private conversation. I do hope you understand that, though it doesn't seem like you do. They're trying to spread awareness.

It's very important for me that I use my platform to speak on topics such as this❤️ thank you

Dude these people are NOT experts. The person saying puberty blockers have been used for decades, is referring to their use on children with PRECOCIOUS puberty; children who entered puberty way too early. It's for people with a hormonal imbalance. Not for healthy, and developing kids. One hormone blocker, lupron, has been known to cause sterelization. Other countries such as the UK and Switzerland have pulled back on giving out puberty blockers because the long term impact is still unknown. Do not listen to these people.

No fear. Only sadness at the depravity of people who lie and steal from their own children......

​@@s.basgic7828Educate yourself.

Yup, I was a 34C by middle school and a 36DD in high school. And now I'm a 44E/DDD which is so fun. Turns out puberty blockers would have saved me a lot of pain so now I'm seeking a breast reduction and lift...

We all deserve to sit well in our skin ❤️ xoxo

I was 5'4 and a 34B at 10 years old. I feel I could have been spared of so much trauma. I got too much adult male attention, and would get harrased constantly. Still to this day (48 yo) I'm uncomfortable with my body. I was not mentally prepared to have a woman's body by 10.

@@wreckers_band8825 Got complimented on my "birthing hips" at 12... that mentally scarred me...

Yes, this is what puberty blockers were developed for- kids with precocious puberty who needed time, its no different for trans kids and I wish people understood that.

It is important we speak up and talk about these issues! xo

I am transgender Male to female and lesbian and pre HRT so it is so important that you said what you have done and open about your daughter tranisan and can you do a timeline with your daughter tranisan as it would help explain more of her way she has gone through this process and how I can get through it myself and become Abby as I need to be and what clothes work on a transgender woman

This is all bullshit

Your damn right there is misinformation out there. And ppl like Carla are perpetuating it

Let's let the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association advise primary care physicians, parents and individuals about this. Each parent can weigh concerns about their child experiencing "brain fog" versus all the data about suicide. I will volunteer to sit quietly and not try to advise anyone on how to treat childhood cancers. I'll leave advice that to the AAP and the AMA as well.

its true, this generation of children taking these drugs long term IS the experiment & it breaks my heart that we may find out terrible consequences in the next 5-15 years but instead of being cautious & starting with metal health therapy and other types of support the medical field instead pushes drugs onto kids that we do NOT know the lifelong effects! instead of being honest they are saying "well so far it hasnt caused problems" when lifelong medication could potentially not show issues until years into the treatment! edit/addition: some of the biggest proponents of child transition have blatantly said they are observing that kids taking these drugs who have become adults are now showing improper brain + body development and are unable to have pleasure and bonding that comes from sexual acts. but instead of telling the public about a side effect they HAVE observed, they are keeping it quiet so they can keep gathering data with uninformed patients

@@leeannsolice7473 so in other words every other country is irrelevant and your opinion is entirely dictated by whatever the two American organisations are currently saying? Like, the UK has literally already been through this, going from “puberty blockers are completely reversible” to “actually wait, we need to research this further, because we just jumped on this treatment without fully conducting any studies (for the efficacy of their use in these circumstances) and actually don’t know whether they’re helping or harming” after an actual evaluation. Norway’s medical body has been the most recent country to join in as reassessing them as not sufficiently safe. And like it does in so many other areas, it looks like the US is lagging behind. It’s also the only country with an insane for-profit healthcare system, so making money over providing suitable care might be a bit of a factor in why many corporations are so keen to push drugs into children that haven’t been fully tested.

​@@alexbennet4195They've stipped because of a vocal minority of anti-trans activists have weaponized the 1-2% of detransitioners to halt the care of young folks leading to poor mental health outcomes and increased risk of suicide

The suicidal ideation that is prevalent with trans kids who don't get care is a much more serious and an acutely life threatning problem than any side effect. The care of trans kids doesen't and shouldn't be dictated by anyone except the kids, their carers and doctors. It certainly shouldn't be dictated by masshysteria and populist propaganda.

Thank you for being here and being a part of this community! ❤️ I truly appreciate it

Thank you both for this informative video. I so agree with you about giving kids to space to decide what it is that they need. ❤

Nah they needed to give to parents blockers😂 this is crazyyyyy😂

"transgender minor" is like "vegan cat". Everybody not sick in the head knows who's making the dexisions

​@@PrimeNPCthank you!! It's so nice to hear someone with a solid head on their shoulders.... these lies are getting sickening . And the destruction caused by these manipulative lies is catastrophic.

You can't be misinformed when biology has been rather clear since the beginning of science and time..... Ivan has manipulated by a mother whose interest is not in her SON but in herself and the temporary glory sacrificing her son can get her.... its saddening to see his life being destroyed by this lie.

​@@s.basgic7828You are uninformed and talking bs. Get yourself educated. I can tell you as a medical biologist. And a human being with a heart.

Thank you for this message. You are exactly right! 🙏 should only ever be a decision made between the family and doctors ❤️

One destroys your reproductive system internally.. The other mutilates them and creates man made horrors beyond your comprehension. This mother is unhinged and she's pushed her kid down this path. You can tell by his attitude he's not one of the 0.03% of genuinely dysphoric people.

​@@PrimeNPCPlease study some more.

@@ForteFaiey Study what? Did I miss something? What did I say that was false?

@@ForteFaiey Have you ever studied an example of a frankenstein reproductive organ?

"gender affirming care" aka "puberty blockers", unnatural artificial hormones, all experimental. They use the same substances to chemically castrate people. Seems some are uneducated or purposefully hiding the facts. Why would someone do that?

Wow I could not believe you would resort to emotional blakcmails like this.

How do you know he’s not just gay?

@@MrBUGS713 Good point! The truth is many Gay men may act all feminine but still enjoys sexual pleasure similar to a man. I.e. they enjoy sticking their copulatory organ somewhere, they enjoy the act of ejaculation.

​@@Ironheart73its what they do😂

Your sibling is now signed up for a life full of hormone injections and surgeries. Seriously damaging sexual health. How do you know they wouldnt have grown out of the dysphoria? There’s a mental health issue going on we should help people with dysphoria learn to live the bodies they have.

Kaitlyn Jenner is a strong supporter of the GOP. BTW she is turned off to the whole current LBQXyz...agenda

I learn so much from Ivy every single day ❤️ We are all growing and learning together and trying to navigate this path one day at a time

It is important we speak up and support one another! I wish for the same thing. Medical decisions should be made between families and their healthcare providers. We know our kids best 🙏 ❤️ Thank you very much xx

It's like giving an anorexic a gastric band because they swear they are obese and all they see is fat.

ALL interventions are reversible? Come on.

You don't go to a gender clinic for advice. If you think for a second that there's any chance of leaving there empty handed, you're delusional. It's not a place for expert advice, it's a glorified dispensary.

You're right. It's ignorant to be talking about this like it's a magical fix with no downsides.

Agreed

@@ForestFire369 no body said it doesn't have side effects. When discussing a potential usage of hormone blockers both the patient and their legal guardian have to give informed consent. Meaning they have to be made aware of potential side effects and complications that can arise from taking the medication in question.

@@brook_angelThis is all well and good, but most doctors don’t do a great job at the informing part, so it’s not true informed consent. Lots of patients consent to medications they weren’t fully informed on.

@@brook_angelwhen they say “it’s just a pause” or “it just lets them catch their breath”, it paints a very rosy picture. It feels like an intentional omission.

Thank you so much for this message. I love that ❤️

Dosage

Yes. It’s very concerning that these beautiful boys and girls are being robbed of their ability to procreate and that they become life long medical patients. I worry that they are being exploited by the medical profession.

It is already used in children with precocious puberty who need time to mature and then will resume puberty when older- like Carla's friend. That's been going on for years and no one was bothered, tried to have it banned, or compared it to castration (it's not, the dose is different & "castration" is the wrong word anyway, if it's being used on an offender they have to continue taking it to be effective, its not immediately permanent).That would be like saying using radiation therapy to treat cancer should be banned because radiation in large doses is harmful. Children taking it have a slight increase in infertility issues which is true of msny mrdications and procedures that one has to weigh, it doesn't render people taking it definitely & immediately sterile. This is misinformation and conspiratorial thinking.

​@@Teajay21 I am so happy to see someone give a genuine answer to this comment. My mother is has her MD my father is a MD as was my grandfather. I am currently in my 3rd year of medical school and everything you have said here is 100% true.

​@@Teajay21 all it does is it a pause button. And then when you were ready to resume, it's like unpause. It starts all over and in a healthy way. usually that pause is over when you are an adult, with a fully-formed brain and can make your own decisions on which gender you feel you were meant to be. Now you just don't have to deal with breasts if you want to be a man, and you have a feminine voice in a feminine face if you decide that you want to be female. Puberty blockers save children's lives.

Thank you so much for this message ❤️ Ivy is learning how to be comfortable in her skin and I'm so proud of her and honored to be apart of the journey. Sending love xoxo

It's problematic that parents decide for their child how their life later on will look like.

Right?! Thank you for sharing. I totally agree. Sending love to you and your family ❤️❤️

When you say "it stops it not permanently, thus safely", do you not realize they have no intention for him to ever go through puberty? That's what these people do, just skip it entirely. That's the reason Jazz Jennings is absent sexual desire or the ability to orgasm.

The answer is there is some increased risk of infertility issues which is typically fairly low- they are already used on cisgender children with precocious (early) puberty like Carla's friend Fern. The parents & patient should be informed of this to make a decision that's best for them

So you think kids should consider having babies as children but not their identity and gender? Seems predatory to me.

Exactly. Kids go through some phases. Anyone who supports puberty blockers is mentally ill.

Reminds me of this highschool classmate of mine who lived with his single mother and 4 other sisters. He acted all feminine and would even grow her hair and sometimes curl his eyelashes. Until she met and fell in love with a woman, and right there and then he understood that he was really happier being a man. Now he is married with this person with 2 lovely daughters. He would joke that it really took the right person in his life to make him embrace manhood and he never looked back since.

Thats not a daughter tho😂

And neurotic

This is a crime. A crime against our children...... lies and deception meant to harm and destroy our most vulnerable.

It is indeed, you are 100% right.

That's why parents, children and doctors don't use them for fun.

@@karl-heinzbrohme5890 ....... think about what you said, here. What other reason could there be to hive perfectly healthy boys girls estrogen or puberty blockers ?? Stopping a natural process the body must make in order to maintain health of the body is harmful, evil and vile. Medication for this is big business.... like a mafia group.

@@karl-heinzbrohme5890 yeah they do.

Thank you for being here 🙏💖 Sending love ❤️💕

You have a confused nephew this is horrible Ive just found a secret society by looking at the comment section nothing but a cult ideology/freakshow

Do you think people walk up to a random doctor and go "one hormone please!"... like there's steps to this... And one study isn't helpful and there's no such thing as biological gender. So... just misinformation and fear mongering.

I’m glad you recognize the importance of letting people freely explore their identity! Too many people are very black and white in their thinking when it comes to this. But also, of course many actual children will change their minds about these things-when you’re a child, say, below the age of 10 or so your whole life is about play and imagination. That is not the same situation as a young teenager having these feelings. I would also urge you to remember that in many studies about trans people changing their minds or detransitioning, they leave out the fact that the #1 reason for people doing so is because of not being accepted by their family and society. Being trans can be incredibly tough, but not because of transness in itself-but because of the world treating us so terribly. So as a trans person myself, I would hope parents also take into account the high risks for their trans kids choosing to not continue their lives if they don’t get help and support, which is a very sad reality. You cannot stop being trans. Even if some people try, it’ll never end well. Being sceptical of medical factors is valid, no matter what it’s about, but just keep in mind other risk factors too.

If you can't stop being trans then why do people detransition?

XOXO❤️🥰

Advocating castrating kids? That's "education" for you?!

I agree ❤️ thank you for the support

Thank you for this message ❤️ I truly appreciate it

I love that❤️ that's my goal . Supporting my community is everything to me 💕💕

I appreciate you sharing here. Thank you for your support for parents being allowed to guide and care for their children. Unfortunately, that is not the stance which many conservatives seem to be taking. In many US states, laws are being passed to strictly limit or completely ban gender affirming care for trans minors, and in some cases, there is a push to get rid of gender affirming care for adults as well. It is not just about schools or keeping teachers from going above parents’ heads. From my vantage point, it seems that many conservatives are out to end gender affirming care for trans folks completely. It is very frustrating because people don’t understand that most trans minors are getting only puberty blockers until they are old enough and have mental maturity to make decisions which will cause more permanent changes. Again, thank you for your respectful comment and for respecting the rights of parents to make decisions to support their children. I hope that more moderate folks like you will choose to speak up when the rights of parents to help their children receive medical care is being threatened and blocked by people who disagree with that care for ideological reasons.

Conservatives will refer to teachers mentioning the existence of queer people as “leading them down a path” and it is so dishonest. By your logic, teachers should never mention anything because that might inspire a thought. That’s the point of education…

Yes👏 thank you. Supportive parents are very important

Thank you 💕💕 she really is. I'm so proud of her.

Because children are adults and adults are children

It's not "catching a breath". You are risking sterilizing children, osteoporosis, and a slew of other medical complications down the road. WAKE UP!

You rock too! Sending love to your family.

I agree ❤️ thank you

Are you joking? Defending a child's right to exist, to live (when it's your own child) is NOT the same as liking broccoli! If you seriously think the two are the same, I hope you don't have responsibility for any children. People who have to state that they are not a transhobe then inveitably go onto display transhopic attitudes, and bingo! it's happened here. There is a huge rate of suicide attempts among trans people (some successful) - starting when they are children. This has been shown to be solely due to lack of acceptance. And conversely, acceptance and respect has been shown to prevent it. Acknowledging and supporting their identity literally saves these kids' lives. There is a huge evidence base for this. Please do not insult everybody's intelligence by pretending that whether you support these kids' right to exist or not is the same as liking broccoli. The *audacity* and sheer inensitivity to write such a thing to Carla, and which everyone else can see. It speaks volumes that you are more concerned about being called out on your bigotry than you are worried about these kids. Sometimes it's ok to say nothing, you know. (And where you insist on displaying bigotry, at least own it.) I suggest you watch this as many times as you need to until you start to get it. The other people in the comments have stated that this was enlightning for them. Hopefully one day you will join their ranks, and be part of the solution rather than the problem. And your 'beliefs' will be that these kids deserve to survive and thrive.

No, disagreeing about broccoli does not equate to telling someone their existence goes against your beliefs. If someone called you a transphobe, maybe examine why that is.

Too often the angriest and nastiest people are unfortunately the loudest, it’s always lovely to see kind-hearted and accepting people around. Thank you for this comment, I’m sure I’m not the only person reading it who’s finding it encouraging! 🙏♥️

You're acting as if there's no reason behind people opposing all of this

@@PrimeNPC What is the valid reason

@@kimberlydavis4772fear the last part is where there is an excess of confusion. The push to affirm has resulted in some (not all) therapists being cautious about questioning their patients. They affirm at all costs, and this has resulted in previous mental health issues, current problems in lives, a lack of previous signs of dysphoria and more being missed. Most are well intentioned. They do not want their patients to experience distress or ideation. They end up with another set of patients experiencing distress and ideation due to regret anyway. *Everything needs to be a case by case basis. There are parents that know their child is trans and they are supporting them (which is fantastic). They know their child. There are other parents that know their child most likely isn’t trans. They know that there is a good possibility that something else is going on. I do not want anyone being cruel to their child or unsupportive. I also understand that in many cases these parents also have their child best interest at heart. I can’t stand seeing people demand that all kids be removed from each set of parents because abuse, etc… It’s impossible to say they are all in the wrong by some kind of a default.

this is horrible Ive just found a secret society by looking at the comment section nothing but a cult ideology/freakshow

It absolutely should be! Aloha and thank you for being here xoxo

The educational system cannot prescribe your child medication or consent to any medical procedures and no one wants them to be able to. All people want is to allow children to know that trans people exist in an age appropriate manner and for trans children to be gendered correctly (name, pronound, etc). That's it.

Handle it in private was referring to government officials who feel they know what's best for our children and therefore enforce these rules and control. Ivy is well informed and continues to educate herself and others ❤️

Right... 'cause there are no laws about medicine or how it is allowed to be applied...

Well said!! Thank you for your kind words honey xx

I’m looking forward to the day when trans people don’t need to be brave…. ☺️

Thank you for the kind words and being here ❤️❤️

Welcome to indoctrination. 💚

You have a confused niece this is horrible Ive just found a secret society by looking at the comment section nothing but a cult ideology/freakshow

Yes! Wise words with great conviction and tonal harmony!

And they share the same twitchy neuroticism

Agreed. Thank you ❤️❤️ Ivy got her shirt from Brandy Melville 💕

Thank you so much ❤️ we appreciate it. I will always use my platform to speak about what I think is important 🙏 sending love

❤

You're hilarious! 😂

The clinics for minors tend to require extensive therapy to get access to medication. Ivy was in therapy for 6 months before she started on any medications.

​@@CarlaRockmore1That's awesome for her, but not how it goes for a lot of people unfortunately.

Amen. Well said.

Uhm, the therapists are right up there with the rest of the doctors and pharmaceutical companies. 😕

You do know that in order to get access to trans related heathcare we do need to get a therapists opinion right?

Who they truly are is who they were at birth. I wonder how many will be back to their birth gender in five years ? I do not wish anyone any harm, but don’t think many will end up staying with the gender they thought they desperately needed to change to.

@@lysbethcharbonneau2687I’ve been transitioning for five years, still don’t regret it in fact I don’t know who the person I was before they’re a distant memory

@@lysbethcharbonneau2687 also i should commend you, you obviously care a lot about others but i think you may be a little too worried about other peoples lives. That can certainly be stressful, I think since the media inundated us all with trans this and trans that it can be really hard to get the facts in order. And I encourage you to sit and talk with trans people and looking up the facts about de transition. That can be really helpful and informative!

Right, because a person needs to block out their development with drugs to become their true selves. The way nature intended. 😢
