I definitely agree about surgery on minors, but aren't puberty blockers typically reversible? Isn't that a safe way to prevent suicide during the teenage years while they figure things out? As I understand it the blockers make it so they can go through puberty with either their natural hormones or artificial hormones after they turn 18.
I have a co-worker who gets genuinely sad talking about his sibling who was born male, and went through puberty as a male, but now identifies as a female. My coworker is sad that this person will never be able to reverse the effects of male puberty on their body, saying if only some doctor had offered puberty blockers.
I don't know how I feel about this, maybe you know more about it than I do.

Natural hormones while taking supplements to change biology?  What the hell are they smoking??? Oxymoron much?  If your coworker is sad his sibling is having a hard time being the opposite sex, I suggest he/she should have been born the other  way to begin with.  But biology said otherwise.   It’s really the most simple solution.
