Pesticide residues were measured in the urine of 506 girls at ages of 7-10, and evaluated with respect to eventual age at menarche. Residues of dithiocarbamate fungicides were associated with earlier menarche, and residues of chlorpyrifos were associated with later menarche.

A study of ~ 5,500 girls aged 9=13 assessed salivary hormones, pubertal development, and self-reported feelings of distress and negative emotions. In girls aged 10-12, greater increases in testosterone were associated with more anxiety and depression. Neither testosterone or negative emotions were directly related to pubertal development.

It’s fascinating how biology shapes us. Before puberty, boys and girls actually have nearly identical levels of physical strength and athletic ability.
Once puberty hits, hormonal changes shift everything. For boys, testosterone drastically increases muscle mass and bone density. For girls, estrogen prioritizes the development of breasts, wider hips for childbearing, and essential body fat.
These beautiful, necessary adaptations for life mean that a girl's physical strength doesn't scale up the same way a boy's does, changing the physical balance between the sexes forever. nature’s blueprint is amazing. 🧬✨

• Physical Transformation: Puberty is described as a "hormonal flood" triggered by the HPG axis, leading to growth spurts of up to 10cm per year. This development is distal-to-proximal, meaning hands and feet grow before the torso, often outstripping the brain's internal spatial map and causing characteristic teenage clumsiness.

I was 36 years old, standing in a pub, secretly navigating the early, volatile stages of a second puberty, and no one knew.
My chest was on fire. It felt as though someone had taken sandpaper to my nipples and then dipped them in acid.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/dec/11/campaigners-in-legal-effort-to-suspend-trial-of-puberty-blockers-in-england. Keira Bell strikes again, it seems. She just can't acknowledge the possibility that she might be mistaken about other kids, & THEIR need for #puberty #blockers, can she, @transactualuk, @transworld, @stonewalluk, @PinkNews, @christineburns, @HarriettMB?

I wonder why kind of J-Pop I hate the most. Is it obnoxiously (not) "cute" girls bands, or obnoxiously (not) "cool" boys bands. The music of both kinds is inane, and I wonder if I was as obnoxious as my daughter when I was her age and I used to listen to the hits of the day in my living room in front of my annoyed parents.
She'll grow out of it any day now, right? Right?

For those who are beginning the journey of growing breasts… Please remember that boobs are great no matter the shape or size! Please try not to get overly self-conscious about the shape, size, or direction in which the twins point. Most people don't have perfectly round tiddies. Much of what you see on the Internet and in the media is theater. Models often use the help of gravity, bras, and digital or physical alteration to help make their chest look a certain way. Standing in the mirror and comparing your boobs to those of other people only serves to hurt you. I found it this helpful image that showed me just how varied breasts can be… And they are all beautiful! I'm an East West girlie myself, and my wife has never had any complaints. #trans #mtf #boobs #puberty

Once puberty hit, I largely stopped developing mentally and emotionally — but after coming out to myself, it resumed. In other words, I’m picking up where I left off. Let me explain.

When I was diagnosed as #transgender, I worked hard, very hard, to prove I wasn’t. The evidence was clear, but I refused to believe the facts. I hated them.
