Yeah, I don't get why this doesn't go without saying. That "blocking puberty" = locking these kids into permanent prepubescence, i.e., early childhood. Developmental disability by design. How many people (particularly parents) think that THAT sounds like a good idea?

And even beyond the damage that it does to their reproductive systems, there's my main worry: what's it doing to their brains?

Yeah. The big argument in favor of puberty blockers is that if the child wants to go through with transition, they won't have the "damage" of having gone through the "wrong" puberty. Aside from the fact that this sounds like a conspiracy to make sure they don't develop as their sex would dictate and thus are way more likely to feel like they don't fit in as the sex they are since they missed puberty, I don't see how they can possibly hope to go through with their correct puberty after missing it. They claim that you can't undo puberty, but that would imply that you can't do puberty late either.
