And yet the vast majority of "puberty blockers" are given to cis kids who experience precocious puberty.
Who are we to question God's natural order? If a 9 year old girl with precocious puberty is uncomfortable being oggled by old men, that's just fine because puberty can never be wrong.
Besides, she can't meaningfully consent to medically delaying puberty, anyway.

Learning about adverse side effects by talking about their experiences is LITERALLY what you’re advocating for a ban on. I’d say by any basic morality you’re not allowed to cite that as evidence if you want it banned.
