Puberty blockers for transgender and gender-diverse youth
Understand how puberty blockers work to suppress puberty. Learn about their benefits, side effects and long-term effects.

"GnRH analogues don't cause permanent physical changes. Instead, they pause puberty. That offers a chance to explore gender identity. It also gives youth and their families time to plan for the psychological, medical, developmental, social and legal issues that may lie ahead..
When a person stops taking GnRH analogues, puberty starts again"
Puberty Blockers
Our Transgender Center offers puberty blockers, which can delay and help prevent unwanted changes like breast growth, facial hair, periods and voice deepening.
"Are Puberty Blockers Permanent?
No, puberty blockers are temporary:
- Injectable blockers (such as Lupron) can last one, three or six months. Patients can continue getting injections until they decide what to do next.
- Implants (such Supprelin), which are placed just under the skin in the arm, can last 12 to 24 months before they need to be replaced.
- If your child decides to continue transitioning, they will likely want to consider hormone therapy and possibly gender affirming surgery.
- If your child decides that they want to develop characteristics of the sex they were assigned at birth, they can simply stop taking puberty blockers. Once the puberty blockers are out of their system, they’ll go through the puberty of the sex assigned at birth. Puberty blockers alone should not affect your child’s fertility, but hormone therapy can."
The thing is, puberty blockers/GnRH used in tandem for trans/non-binary/ etc issues is considered an off-brand use. Though it is being studied for the use in trans people specifically, originally the blockers were used to treat other medical conditions. The use for those conditions have been ongoing since '93 so they've had 30 years of use and study.
"What are the possible risks of puberty blockers? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved puberty blockers in 1993. They were originally approved to temporarily stop puberty in children who were going through it too early. Researchers have not finished studying how safe puberty blockers are in the long term. So, there might be some risks that doctors do not yet know about. The information below tells you what we do know."
Ouch. Though good that you've something to distract you. I still refuse to get a phone. I'm one of "Those" peoples.
Necessary evil. It’s the most valuable tool in my toolbox at this point in time. Kind of hate it at the same time too.
Queueing up at the bank?
Wow, you really do live in the wayback, don't you? What were you doing, getting a sack of silver coins to pay your people?

I still get paid once a month with a paper handwritten check. Old school.
I know one person at my work like that. Everyone else is direct deposit. She doesn't trust the corporation, so she was all "No thank you" and has refused DD since.
Just had a sudden flashback to an “Andrew Dice Clay” standup routine with that question…
I wish!! I was supposed to grab several rolls of nickels for Romoli… but I’m just remembering that now. Oh well.
Not meant to be something for people to find "definitive answers".
Point was, gender fluid people aren't usually talked about.
If you want a definitive answer, look to religion or politics.
A community organization representing LGBTQ+ people in Regina has filed a lawsuit against the Saskatchewan government over a pronoun policy affecting school children (under 16 years old).
McCarthy Tetrault LLP will be working with Egale Canada on a lawsuit that could bring the government of Saskatchewan to court over their controversial policy requiring teachers to get parental consent (for children under 16 years old) before calling a trans student their new name or pronouns.
“The Government of Saskatchewan remains committed to implementing the policy it announced on August 22, 2023, which requires parental consent if a student (under the age of 16) wants to change their name or pronouns at school,” a statement read.
“The Government maintains its position that parents and guardians have a key role in protecting and supporting their children as they grow and develop and will do everything in its power to protect parental rights.”
Both sides will start arguing the injunction next week.
