I saw an article on Cuba’s healthcare recently. It pointed to how they have very good life expectancy and low infant and child mortality rates, even subjected to decades of brutal blockade.

When a child is age 11, tell then the effect estrogen or testosterone will have on them, and give them the choice if they’re sure they want to continue with their endogenous hormones, if they’re sure they want to start exogenous hormone therapy, or if they’re unsure to pause the decision with puberty blockers for up to a couple of years
How to explain the big words to eleven year olds? I’m not sure i know.
Hormone: chemical messenger that your body uses to influence how you grow, whether you’re hungry or full, or whether you’re about to run or react.
Puberty: how your body changes as you grow from a child into an adult.
Estrogen: a type of hormone everyone has, which women have more. It causes body changes in puberty (???)
Testosterone: a type of hormone everyone has, which men have more. It causes your voice to lower in puberty, body changes, etc. (???)
Endogenous: produced by your own body for its own use?
Exogenous: produced outside of your body, but used by your body?
