Doctors used to regularly treat patients with mercury and blood letting. Then more data came out to say it was bad so they stopped doing it. That’s how medicine works.
The evidence is not there for puberty blockers and it isn’t there for mercury.
Either way the medical professionals have worked out what is best for the patient based on all the information and they have decided no to puberty blockers. No point talking about it anymore, the experts have spoken and neither of us has more data than them.
Which brings me back to my original question of why two countries suddenly closed the matter. What is your bar for who gets to decide what the truth is? Is it based on the size of the population they serve? GDP? Years as a country?

Those weren’t evidence based treatments to begin with. When we got evidence we stopped using them.
Puberty blockers already have evidence. They’ve been used since the 80s.

But they don’t do it for everything because things they did use it for they found out were bad, just like puberty blockers.
