This is the thing I hate the most about troons.Ah but therein lies part of the problem. That person will never exist.
The longer someone is on hormone blocking drugs, the bigger and more permanent effect is has on the body. Even in clinical studies done with adults for serious medical issues like cancer or endometriosis, the subjects are only on GnRH agonists for a couple of months, and usually used in conjunction with other drugs to mitigate side effects. These drugs aren not meant to be used for years on end, especially not for years on end during a human beings biggest fucking growth spurt.
The catastrophic effects of doing so have already shown themselves when it was being prescribed for the slightly more understandable issue of precocious puberty. Here's a great writeup on how fucked up the fallout of prescribing Lupron (the oldest name brand of this category of drugs) to kids has been: https://www.statnews.com/2017/02/02/lupron-puberty-children-health-problems/
Important quote from the article:
Don't let the troons fool you. Everything they claim about hormone blockers is completely bullshit and they are the ones harming children by pushing this "treatment".
Mutilating yourself as a consenting(?)* adult is one thing. But pushing this fucking insanity on children, telling them it's fine to fuck up your body with surgeries and drugs disgusts me, and probably all of us.
*Though can they actually consent if they're this mentally ill?
