Holy fuck, why is this motherfucker so fucking dumb?

Your argument has assumptions baked into it that you have not supported.
This is why I said you have to argue this point: "that it causes irreparable harm to the child beyond what they could potentially gain from alleviating body dysphoria"
This would be completely irrelevant if it were true that hormone blockers caused no irreparable harm. We wouldn't care to make absolutely 100% sure that they do have a problem because the hormone blockers would be harmless anyway.

No, all I have to argue is that there are too many lurking variables to play guinea pig on a vulnerable population, actually.

That’s on you to prove then, not me. It’s not an act of incredulity on my part if I’m cautious about wanting to prescribe puberty blockers to children like vaccines. lmao

No this is literally it.
You simply don't like hormone blockers and you're not willing to engage with the scientific evidence surrounding them. You're content arguing against them completely from ignorance and fear stemming from your own lack of knowledge about the topic. This is indistinguishable from a debate with anti-vaxxer actually.
I've heard from the likes of Vaush that they are indeed almost completely harmless but I don't care enough to engage with that topic further that's why I don't argue for either position, I'm only arguing for rationality.

Does he have longitudinal studies for children as young as 8? I fucking doubt it, my man. There’s not many IRB boards that would approve that. At most, he might have a handful of correlative studies, but I highly doubt it substantiates long-term effects. Most of what he cites is correlative or from studies from small sample sizes that are older. There’s a few decent meta-analyses for kids around 14, like i said, but nothing as young as 8, as far as I’m aware. If vaush actually said that, he’s bullshitting you.
Well, maybe you should stop comparing puberty blockers to vaccines, then.

*older populations

It would surprise me if he said anything like that. What I remember is,
1. Vaush pokes fun at reactionaries who believe 8 yo's are being made to transition. (I believe Steven Crowder made a "8 year olds are getting their dicks cut off" comment.)
2. Vaush explains that children are never treated with HRT, and at most get puberty blockers.
3. Vaush explains that even this is never done to 8 year olds, and that it only begins to make sense at 11, when children enter puberty.
4. Vaush defends the practice of using puberty blockers, and shows evidence that its effects are nearly completely reversible in teens.

You fucking wot?

If I had a chance at the time I'd take hormone blockers and never stop, and stay a cute androgynous shota forever.
