In fact, our child had started to express dysphoria around age 12, but my husband and I brushed it aside as normal teen angst.
Many youth in this situation suffer in silence, sometimes for years – often with severe mental-health impacts. A 2019 survey by Trans PULSE Canada found that 40 per cent of respondents aged 14 to 24 considered suicide in the past year, while 10 per cent attempted it.
Giving youth access to gender-affirming care (GAC), on the other hand, results in much better outcomes. A 2022 U.S. survey of almost 100,000 youth (16 and older) found that 79 per cent reported feeling “a lot more satisfied” with life following transition, while only 2 per cent reported feeling “a lot less satisfied.”

My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control. The onset of puberty is often when a youth starts to feel severe dysphoria. A puberty blocker provides them with a pause to consider next steps, with minimal risks and no effects on fertility, and is 100-per-cent reversible.
