All queer and trans people who are transitioning as young people in the United States do so with about three to five medical professionals.

I trust that those medical professionals know more about that individual than I do.

Someone is not just saying, oh, this kid says they're trans, let's go, let's give them hormones.

What actually happens is a young person feels a deep amount of distress in who they are based on something they had no control over.

They share that with their parents.

In the majority of cases, the parent who wants to keep their child alive

brings them to a psychologist or a psychiatrist.

They work with that medical professional for many years.

They bring in endocrine specialists, and they work together for years to decide what is the right path of treatment, when, how, and with who.

So the majority of people who detransition... Why do the majority of people detransition?

So puberty anxiety is, oh my gosh, I'm very worried that my characteristics are going to change who I am as a person.

Other people are, oh my God, I'm worrying that puberty is going to permanently lock me into a body that is not mine.

And I will never be able to prevent the changes that I go through with puberty.

And so a partially reversible option is puberty blockers that is actually proven to save lives.

That's what matters to me is lives saved of young people.

We'll talk about the Oxford study, talk about the methodology, talk about the people who ran the study, talk about the peer review process.

No, no, I'm saying it's a broken study and you're misquoting it.

Okay, give me one study that you think is good.

Okay, I would say the study is done by the 270,000 doctors.

Okay.
