Dr. Cherie Priya Dhar of the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is in a video promoting the use of puberty blockers for kids.

“Puberty blockers are basically a medication that say, ‘Hey, let’s just put a pause on puberty,'” she said. “And that can be really beneficial for younger kids who have already started the puberty process who either might go through a lot of psychological distress as they go through puberty if they’re struggling with gender dysphoria or for somebody who’s saying, ‘Hey, I’m not really sure if I feel comfortable in my body or what gender I truly identify with.”
