LGBTQ+

They are a bad thing though. Not because of the horseshit FUD reasons transphobes say, but they are a bad thing. They're a necessary evil at best. Ideally every trans kid would go through puberty at the same age as their peers. Sometimes people aren't sure of themselves and need some additional time to think things through, but in an ideal world, people would figure this stuff out long before puberty even starts. Puberty blockers are a necessary evil, but in an ideal world, no one would be on them except kids who get very early precocious puberties.

Trans kids having to start puberty at 16, 17, or 18 is not a good outcome. Not when they're now years behind their peers developmentally. A trans girl should be able to get her first bra at the same age her cis female classmates do. A trans boy shouldn't have to go through the awkwardness of learning how to shave while in college. Trans kids should be able to have all the normal developmental experiences cis kids have, at the ages everyone else gets to. Today, sometimes puberty blockers cannot be avoided, but in an ideal world, puberty blockers would have no use at all in gender-affirming care.
