from the Food and Drug Administration show a link between common puberty blocker hormones and serious risks for youth who take them.
The FDA identified six cases of females who were taking a puberty blocker and suffered from brain swelling and vision loss. “Pseudotumor cerebri is an inordinately well-known side effect that can happen for many, many different medications, most commonly, oral birth control pills,” said Dr. Morissa Ladinsky, a UAB doctor who works with transgender youth.
Rep. Wes Allen, who sponsored the state’s ban on those medications, says the block on the state’s puberty hormone ban should be lifted.In response to the FDA’s findings, Allen tweeted his opponents should “follow the science.” Opponents to my bill, which banned puberty blockers for children in Alabama should take their own advice and “follow the science” and stop pushing these dangerous medications on vulnerable children. 2/2
