History will remember this fad the same as lobotomization. It seems the tide is turning fortunately. I feel confident that in a few years there will be little public support for puberty blockers and surgeries for children. And adults will have a much better understanding of the risks.

Unfortunately, the cockroaches who pushed this crap will scurry out of sight and avoid the punishment they deserve for their part.

I think there's gonna be enough lawyers chasing after payouts that won't exactly happen. Probably be commercials on TV in the states "If you or a loved one took puberty blockers and suffered from XYZ symptoms you may be entitled to compensation" type stuff in 10 years or more.

I think this idea only spreads in a society largely ignorant of it. Normally the idea that one can change their sex is so ludicrous most people will dismiss it as idiotic and refuse to deal with it outright. As it becomes more of a mainstream idea it will become harder for medical organizations to justify it, especially when it's not footnotes and extreme edge cases.

I think there may be some value to it in the edge cases that is worth exploring but for the average person who thinks they are the opposite sex I suspect they're problems lie elsewhere and they won't benefited from hormones or surgery.
