  No.

  Puberty blockers are a compromise.

  Ideally, according to the trans community, teenage trans people should be allowed to take cross sex hormones alongside their own natural puberty. I’m not saying this is my own personal opinion, I don’t know enough about it, but as someone who once lived in an area highly populated by trans people, this is what a lot of drag queens and trans people who live in this parallell culture seem to believe.

  I can see why they say this, even though I haven’t researched it enough to form my own opinion. As far as I know, puberty blockers exist to stall puberty so that the child can have time to change their mind if they want, because hormones have a more perminant effect either way.

  “Wait and see if they change their mind” is something that you’d say if you didn’t actually believe what someone was saying about themselves. Taking cross sex hormones should inhibit a lot of secondary sex characteristics from the other puberty anyway so I’m not sure why they’re needed unless the adults just don’t believe them.
