    is it ok to treat non trans kids for gender affirming care

    Absolute yes, puberty blockers weren’t even invented for trans kids. Early puberty is a thing and a problem that’s treated using puberty blockers, the same that a trans person would use.

      My son nearly had to go on puberty blockers, as he was starting to show signs of early puberty. We talked to our pediatrician, who ultimately determined that he’s not starting puberty just yet. Turns out he’s just a really rambunctious and rowdy 8 year old.

      Thats literally not the same thing. CPP can cause actual health problems past wanting to kill yourself.

      The drugs in this case it to make suure kid, primarily girls, can grow to their full height and bot have spinal issues due to that, lower cancer rates, and significantly lower the chances of diabetes.
