Your point being? In this case it is hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty, to essentially &quot;buy time&quot; until the patient can competently make a decision on more invasive transitioning.<p>This is reversible (just stop taking the drugs), and for young people with gender dysphoria, the onset of puberty can be extremely traumatic and  often triggers a range of sometimes severely self-destructive behaviour, and so delaying puberty is for many seen as by far the safest and best option.
