I didn't notice it but is that little card at the top of the article a direct quote from the judge? Did the just really call them "PBs"? Euphemisms for the drugs make them seem less dangerous than they are. They are not even puberty blockers, they just happen to be used that way but there were never tested for that and they were not developed for that. That's not a nit-pick of the article though, as "PBs" was attributed to the judge.

The judgement uses all the correct terms "gender dysphoria," "gender identity service" and "puberty blockers" initially but then uses the abbreviations: GD, GIDS, PBs.
