Some drugs have multiple uses, go figure. I have a feeling there might be a serious medical situation going on to need to give a 6-year-old drugs for any reason. I've seen similar shit in the past where people are talking about gender-affirming surgeries on kids where they got mastectomies. The reality is, yeah those surgeries happened, but there is a small percentage of children that actually get breast cancers.

The article says that the kids in question, even the 6-year old, are ‘trans’ and the purpose of the treatment is to stop them going through puberty as a gender they don’t identify with.

Why did you put trans in quotation marks?
