This is a big reason why certain studies found that >90% of children on puberty blockers went onto cross-sex hormones. There are a few interpretations, and the trans lobby goes with, "That means we picked kids who really were trans, so puberty blockers helped them." The other option is that you're freezing kids in the moment where they want to transition, and they are not even being given a chance to "grow out of it," as they might actually need. The rates of deciding not to transition after initially considering it are much higher for people who don't try to stop puberty. In the Keira Bell case, the judges seemed to think it beggared belief that puberty blockers would have that high of an "accuracy" rate; it is more likely that kids on puberty blockers were being pressured to transition or that it wasn't meaningful as a "pause" button since virtually no one opted out. And clearly some have since come to regret it now that they're older, so they are getting "false positives," but puberty blockers seem to lock them in early before they have a chance to realize this isn't actually helpful for them.Let u stay away from the possibility of the pro-trans crowd hypnotising the child in this vulnerable state. Here, the child, while initially happy, would eventually suffer from the unnecessary side-effects from the drugs on top of the ways a delayed or averted puberty, a natural, biological process, would hur the child's body. Also, since puberty affects the mind, this may also cause mental problems or at least immaturity from the perpetually averted puberty. The child would be trapped; on top of the permanent changes the child has gotten through the stopping of puberty, the pro-trans crowd would not wan to le the child stop taking blockers, despite wha the child says. They will insist on 'protecting' the child from 'TERF rhetoric' then forcing him to take the blockers... or, worse, become a genderspecial troon.
