For centuries, the terms male and female have essentially been synonymous with man and woman. But for many, this is perhaps a misconception - the idea that one's biological sex they are born with portends a certain gender. In this episode, we explore the role of puberty blockers in children and adolescents who are contemplating transitioning. Is there a 'right' time for someone to begin transitioning? How do puberty blockers work? And if someone decides to take them, what are the long term risks and effects? Dr. Michelle Forcier, Professor of Pediatrics at Brown University, joins the podcast to discuss her experience in prescribing puberty blockers to patients.
