puberty

Two years after the conservative majority overturned national abortion rights, the justices will hear arguments Wednesday over whether states may ban hormone treatment and puberty blockers for adolescents suffering from gender dysphoria.

And for “Inside Out 2” — also nominally a comedy — they were steeped in one of the most terrifying circumstances: puberty.

Gender-affirming care involves social transitioning, puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or surgical procedures.

This treatment through social transitioning, puberty blockers, or hormone therapy can be lifesaving for children, and more than 30 medical associations have issued policy statements that support its use.

The regulator also asked Mermaids to amend the information it had on its website about puberty blockers to also reflect the findings of the Cass Review, which it has.
