That sort of treatment used to be common. In general it results in the trans kids getting horribly depressed, often killing themselves. Doctors with more field experience and who have done more research than me have settled on blockers as a safe and effective treatment with no long-term side effects if they're discontinued. You'll have to provide something more than gut feeling that they can't just be shrugged off.
