(post claims they’ve discovered a new intervention that cures a long list of symptoms gender dysphoria)
So, what is this Intervention?
So, what is this new intervention that is so good at alleviating Gender Dysphoria? It is Puberty! Yes puberty. As it is a bit of a turbulent time it can of course, be associated with some increased risks of mental health concerns as a person develops, however it also presents opportunities for positive development and maturing. Understanding and supporting adolescents through this period can help maximize the potential mental health benefits of puberty. Going through puberty can lead to the development of deeper peer relationships, development of the brain regions involved in understanding others’ perspectives (social cognition), which helps adolescents build stronger peer connections and social support networks and is strongly linked to better mental health and resilience. It is also related to the exploration of personal identity and self-awareness, development of greater emotional awareness and coping strategies, influences brain development and function and synaptic pruning, enables emotional resilience and social competence, develops the pre-frontal cortex which aids problem solving. It leads to an increase in production of white matter brain volume, improves communication and connectivity between brain regions and more efficient cognitive processing and emotional regulation. It leads to an increase in emotional intensity by stimulating the limbic system and risk-taking behaviours necessary to help develop adult roles. It also develops the corpus callosum which supports improved coordination between analytical and creative thinking. Therefor not experiencng puberty or delaying puberty leads to stunted or delayed general development and the likelihood of prolonged Gender Dysphoria.
