Well, it kind of seems like child abuse to me forcing an eleven-year-old go through permanent irreversible changes to their body that will forever traumatize them, when that can be avoided. Have you actually met a trans person? Especially one who knew before puberty?
So how much time is "enough"? (I can well believe that a year of delay is fine, given that puberty varies more than that with nutrition; but I've known plenty of people to dither longer than that over much less consequential decisions.)

It depends on the person. The whole point of the treatment is to delay *longer* than the normal start of puberty so that the person has more time to mature and solidify their identity. And that it is safe to do so. Do you have evidence that it isn't safe?

Because this is the pattern that all the transphobes use - "it isn't safe" "it's child abuse" "it feels wrong" all while citing zero evidence of harm in the face of huge amounts of trans people telling you how much going through the wrong puberty sucked and changed them for life.
