Children are not developmentally able to understand the consequences of serious medical decisions. Puberty blockers cause a host of medical problems (e.g. osteoporosis). 80% of trans-identified adolescents will eventually desist if left alone (not put on the trans bus). Over 60% are children who will later identify as LGB. Transing of adolescnets represents an erasure of lesbians and gay men.

That's another one of my problems with allowing kids to medically transition: it impairs their ability to know if they're trans or just going through a phase.

That’s the whole point of puberty blockers. No one is giving them cross-sex hormones right away.

Puberty is not a disease.

And you're not a lesbian.

Male puberty is. And you will never be in a woman.

Male puberty is just as natural as female puberty, and shame on you for suggesting otherwise.

Lol! I turned out alright bro. It's survivable. Transgenderism less so.
