What gets me the most is that no one likes their body during puberty. Your voice cracks, you outgrow every new bra you get, your uterus has you in shear agony, your dick makes surprise appearances at the worst times, your face is a landmine of zits - the list goes on. Transition is sold to kids as a quick fix for that. It's especially bad if you're a late or early bloomer. Having tits in fourth grade sucks. Not having tits in ninth grade sucks. The worst part is that you know everyone around you, all of your peers, are going through puberty, too, and you compare yourself to them. Maybe your friends have started growing facial hair and you haven't. Or maybe you have cystic acne while the girl who sits next to you in math class has flawless skin, maybe the odd small pimple she can cover with makeup. It all sucks ass.I think its because these are obviously young women/girls with immense self image problems, cutters and generally self loathing psychologically disturbed kids, and "Dr" Scythe is a legit fucking psychopath.
Then one day, you're on TikTok or Twitter and you hear about puberty blockers. You can just make this whole thing stop. They tell you it's like pressing the pause button on puberty and you can press play at any time and pick up exactly where you left off with no negative effects. Then you find out that the real reason you hate your body so much is because it's the wrong body. Things just snowball from there. I would've fallen for this. I would've been using the DIY HRT directory. I'd find a way to get a binder. I feel for the kids getting roped into this bullshit.
