I’m not sure where you got your information from about puberty blockers, but you might want to consult a different source. Overwhelmingly the medical evidence points towards great benefits from puberty blockers with few drawbacks. They have been fairly commonly administered for almost 50 years at this point - initially for people with early onset puberty - and are widely recognised as safe. Their effect is reversible, side effects are quite few and minor - stuff like hot flashes, mood swings, usual teen hormonal stuff.
How do you, personally, research the risks and benefits of a course of treatment, and what is your methodology for comparing those to determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks for individual cases?
