Read it last night, but I'm still confused why trans medical care is treated differently than other treatments, even treatment with the exact same drug in the exact same age children?

It seems to me, from reading the judgment, that the judges were persuaded that PBs lead to transition. But since they dont when used in cis children it must not be the drugs themselves that cause this outcome. In which case there must be another, non-medical aspect...

They are not used in the same way for precocious puberty. As is discussed in the judgment.

They're used in the same dosages for the same effect. What does "in the same way" mean other than that?

Do you think precocious puberty is a psychiatric condition?

I assume you don't mean the negative consequences of precocious puberty are psychological.

Yes- theres no physical danger to the body in going through puberty early. As with gender dysphoria the negatives are social and emotional.

Which doesnt mean they shouldn't be treated! It's very stressful on a young person to appear different from their peers. And they may be treated differently by others as well. But these aren't physical issues, they're psychological/psycho-social.
