Behavioral and emotional problems and depressive symptoms decreased, while general functioning improved significantly during puberty suppression. Feelings of anxiety and anger did not change between T0 and T1. While changes over time were equal for both sexes, compared with natal males, natal females were older when they started puberty suppression and showed more problem behavior at both T0 and T1. Gender dysphoria and body satisfaction did not change between T0 and T1.

So feelings of anxiety, anger, gender dysphoria and body satisfaction - none of them improved on blockers.

You didn't even read the thing you quoted. I just can't.

The study measures a lot of different variables in mental health. GD and body satisfaction remained the same (which is understandable, puberty blockers literally just block puberty, your body is doing the opposite of changing.) while "Behavioral and emotional problems and depressive symptoms" were reduced. Literally a net positive.

The "cure" you advocate for young children with GD will leave most of them sterile, sexually dysfunctional, without libido or ability to orgasm, with compromised cognitive faculties, stunted psychology and perhaps diminished IQ. It's a treatment that totally contradicts the principles of "first do no harm" and evidence-based care.

cite your sources. And maybe actually read them this time.
