I mean, this is all hypothetically, but maybe something in the future can strengthen new memories, only when you take it and not all the time.
I was talking generally, not just children. Unless you meant you are OK with adults taking medicine that changes them beyond just illnesses, just not children doing so.
Well, to some people, blocking puberty or any other changes to their body, is accepting who they are.
The thing is it comes with an entire new set of problems, if someone doesn't go through puberty because they don't like what it does, at what point can you call someone an adult? Or is being adult also a social construct at that point?
Should we start accepting that people can also choose to remain "children" at any given point in their life? There already was this dutch "famous" guy who went to court over the fact that he wanted to have his age changed to the age he feels he is like, because he felt like he was being discriminated over his age, i'm not entirely sure on what part but still.
But I digress, I just in generally am not in favour of needing to depend on medication/drugs, unless it really is for your health, it's a really weird area to discuss it because I know that there are people who can't accept themselves without it, but medications most of the times come with undesired side effects as well.
Just to be clear, I have nothing against the entire LGBT, whatever letters there are now because I can't keep track, community thing, everyone should be happy with who they are one way or another, i'd rather just not have people depend on certain things to achieve it, is all.
Other small, albeit unrelated, example is that I have had sleeping problem for many years now, and I could get my hands on pills for that, but I don't want to rely on that and that's obviously my choice and i'm still doing just fine.
Another would be cosmetic surgery, there are cases where it's necessary to live a "normal" live and that's absolutely great!
But I definitely do not agree on people who strive to become living barbie and ken dolls and am of the opinion that they should be strongly advised to not do such a thing because in the long run it will most likely cause complications one way or another. It's in the end their own choice but I think it should be discouraged.
But these are also endless discussion because one could argue that it's because of what "society" wants us to be.
So no, i'm generally not much in favour of, adult or child, using medication or procedures to enhance or alter yourself, it's a very slippery slope that would need to be threaded very carefully in my opinion. But people in the end can do whatever they want.
