    We are talking about blockers, not hrt. Hormone blockers effects are reversible, and with hrt fertility is the only thing that’s getting affected in the long run, but still you don’t need to get therapy before getting a vasectomy.

    Id like to add to the original comment that my body has been destroyed by an unwanted puberty and that yes, not getting blockers prescribed has harmed me

        Oh sorry I completely misread the original two comments, sorry about that. But still, while I do agree that you usually want to minimize potential harm, I still want to insist that therapy is not a good way of knowing if a person is really sure of it and it often into an infantilizing and unpleasant experience
