Hormone Questions Regarding Children

[JohnDB]

I've been wondering this for quite some time now. Leftists are quick to convince children that they can identify themselves as to which gender they want to be and will then pump some of these kids with opposite sex hormones or puberty blockers, and even do surgeries, all known as "gender affirming care". So, my questions are these:

Does it ever occur to anyone that kids with gender dysphoria ought to have their estrogen or testosterone levels checked to see if they are in the normal range as per the sex they were born?

And, if those hormone levels are not in the normal range, shouldn't we be pumping them with their same sex hormones in connection to the sex they were born?

Wouldn't that be the logical first step to do instead of just pumping them with opposite sex hormones or puberty blockers because they have gender dysphoria?

Shouldn't "gender affirming care" be first about making sure their hormone levels are in the normal range of the sex they were born before doing anything else?

Actually doing some TRUE assessments of their mental health would be the very first place to start. Find out if they have been mentally abused....which is the problem that they don't want to address. Because then you have some very vocal LGBTQ advocates being held guilty of sexually abusing minors.
