Everything has side effects… It’s not your position to say weather they’re worth it or not.
All the research shows quality of life increasing with gender affirming care. So, you’re suggesting that a temporary delay in bone growth is worth a long term reduction in quality of life…

That’s the beauty of science, it’s self improving…
This article specifically, is a meta review of studies that have already been available and all experts in the field should already know (I’m no expert and I’ve known about this for years) that puberty blockers do this. As with pretty much everything anyone does, there’s always a cost and a benefit and you should always weigh them up carefully with big life altering decisions. For people with gender dysphoria some delayed bone growth is no big deal compared to being allowed to be themselves.
