That is one interpretation.
Another is to consider that while over 96% of children given puberty blockers proceed to cross-sex hormones, those treated with watchful waiting desist in around 85% of cases.
This suggests that puberty blockers are much more likely to cement gender dysphoria, rather than treat it.
Furthermore, there is no evidence to show that not being prescribed puberty blockers causes gender dysphoric children to kill themselves.

These results align with past literature, suggesting that pubertal suppression for transgender adolescents who want this treatment is associated with favorable mental health outcomes."
