NEERAJA DESHPANDE: The Washington Post Inadvertently Revealed The Truth About Puberty Blockers

Recent Washington Post The story has been released “Trans girl was banned from the track team. Now she’s competing with the boys,” it follows Eliza Munsi, an 18-year-old man who identifies as transgender. Munsi joined the women’s track team earlier this year after President Trump’s executive order, “Stop men out of women’s sports.” However, due to the executive order, Munsi was unable to play with the girls without invalidating the league, so Munsi had to compete with the boys.

In many ways, this is a success story from our perspective that we fought to protect the unity space. Munsi, a man, was able to compete with other men even if Munsi didn’t follow sex stereotypes (says Munsi prefer “shining red flats” and “fairdresses” and “knows hair” and Taylor Swift’s hair. Activists say they’re making women’s sports athletics unfairly malignant and want to keep people who exclude transgender people from sports completely, but in reality, there are no supporters of single sex women’s sports when people like Eliza Munsi play on boys’ track teams. The Washington Post story proves that protecting women’s sports, if any, is always about protecting a single space, not “transphobia” or “banning trans people from sports.” (Related: “Silly”: Pier Morgan’s quarrel accusing panelists of hoping to “eliminate trans people” over sports issues)

That said, the story still has a source of concern. In other words, it is the medicalization of children who identify as transgender. Karina Elwood of the Post wrote: [Eliza] I never had a male adolescent starting blocker before [Eliza’s] My body has begun to produce high levels of testosterone. This is a hormone that normally makes the boys muscular, develop facial hair, and develop deeper voice. “For this reason, Elwood implies that Munshi may not have any physical advantages over girls.

It is noteworthy that Elwood suggests that adolescent blocked men are weaker than men who have experienced natural puberty. This should not be limited to sports, but be the source of general concern, and raise the question of how question blockers affect the strength and health of prescription boys.

There are several answers to this. Around 2023 Research From Amsterdam, adolescent blocked men still have low spinal bone density, even after they start taking estrogen in adulthood. Of those sampled in this study, 36% found to be at a significant risk of future osteoporosis. They may have one too Decreasing height in adults And if you prescribe adolescent blocker early enough, you do so suffer Due to a large reduction in penis and scrotum size and a complete loss of sexual function, including orgasmic ability and sterility.

However, the fact that adolescent blocked males are shorter and weaker than male counterparts who have experienced natural male adolescence does not mean that adolescent blocked male bodies resemble a female bodies. Physically healthy women may have smaller bones than physically healthy men, but this is a natural biological distinction rather than an artificially created, drug-induced debilitating weakness.

Elwood hints at the end of the piece that Munsi was really supposed to be competing with the girls as Munsi’s throws at the first track meeting of the season are the shortest in the boys’ competition. But reading between the lines of the story should give us another conclusion. Medicalization of children who do not follow sexual stereotypes means that they are physically hurting them by weakening them. The fact that adolescent blockers cause Irreversible damage In men, this does not mean that adolescent blocked men belong to female-only sports. Instead, it means that medical experiments with minor adolescent blockers should be completely over.
