> There are still many publicized cases of puberty blockers being given to young children (i.e. before 12 years of age).

You know that's the licensed use for these meds, right? To block precocious puberty?

I wasn't referring to the use of these meds for precocious puberty, in which case meds are given to delay puberty and then stopped. I was referring to their use for trans kids where they are continued indefinitely until they are followed by hormone treatment.

Again, my primary concern is the administration of irreversible treatments to children.

Puberty blockers are not irreversible.
