Summary
Gerald Posner—Pulitzer Prize finalist & author of “Pharma: Greed, Lies and the Poisoning of America”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest Wall Street Journal editorial, “The Truth About Puberty Blockers.” Posner writes: “The Food and Drug Administration has approved [puberty blockers] to treat prostate cancer, endometriosis, certain types of infertility and a rare childhood disease caused by a genetic mutation. But it has never approved them for gender dysphoria, the clinical term for the belief that one’s body is the wrong sex.” You can read Posner’s full editorial here:https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-truth-about-puberty-blockers-overdiagnosis-gender-dysphoria-children-933cd8fb?mod=opinion_lead_pos6
