But I think we're on the right track with this drug. The cross hormones might not be causal, they could have easily already been there. The drug could also be perfected in the future.. The more cases will just expand our knowledge on the area, and perhaps in 50 years times this sorta thing could be evaluated in a more effective way.
Terminating the use of a drug that can clearly be incredible useful isn't the answer.

But in the meantime, 80% of children put onto the drug, don't need to be on it? So effectively we are treating (and medicalising for life) 4 out of every 5 people put on it, when they don't need to be treat that way! Thats mental, surely...

Lupron causes significant safety concerns aswell...if it really worth it, so that 1/5 of the people who take it can look a little more feminine/masculine as an adult?!

I guess at this point it would just be a game of swap the link..for every article there is on the dangers of the drug, there's an article that claims that all effects are completely reversible.

It is a powerful chemotherapy drug. Of course it is not harmless..

The only study done into it shows that they are not reversible in practice...I have read links that say they are reversible, oddly enough there has not been a study done on any of them, its just opinion. And yes, in theory they would be reversible...but noone who takes them changes their minds..
