So I got the #supprelin #pubertyblocker info packet today and it CAME WITH A KIDS BOOK
And a demo implant which creeped me the FUCK out to look at.
It’s fucking creepy and honestly when I requested an info packet I was not prepared to see this pharmaceutical company DIRECTLY addressing kids who also can easily order it.
Allegedly made to help “parents like you” understand blockers, which is also awful.
This whole thing apparently can be done by any doctor under local anesthetic and lasts TWELVE months, most long acting drug in its class by far, this easy to install, and with the way the trans community always says “just try it! you can always stop”, it is a recipe for disaster
And they REALLY want to help your poor child get on this drug!! Right away, no money no problem!! How nice of them!!
At least Hypothetical Patient looks healthy and well-rounded!
I had to dig VERY deep in this packet for the thin folded up paper with actual info. Pretty sure it is implying that severe pain around implant site is a COMMON side effect.
