When administered to trans kids, "puberty blockers" should be referred to as “prison blockers" because cis puberty is not an actual puberty for trans kids, it& #39;s a prison that you can never *fully* escape once you& #39;re thrown in.

Puberty is a beautiful thing!

It’s a time to blossom and bloom, to mature, to undergo a weaving of mind and body into You.

But that& #39;s not what lots of trans kids experience without HRT.

“Cis puberty” made my body a prison instead.

HRT allowed me to escape, but only partially.

CW: harm/suicide

Self harm/suicide stats are so high for trans folks because it’s the one definite way to escape the prison. Not trying to be inflammatory, but when I say transition was the only OTHER option, it& #39;s because I was tired. I HAD to escape. I& #39;m so glad HRT worked.
