- "Pro" what? "Anti" what? What's the side that's taken, from your perspective? - I don't recall "puberty blockers are 100% reversible, they just buy time" being anywhere in the article, and IIRC the data on e.g. fertility impact is sparse

This is consistent with my understanding, which is that there really isn't much data. Small studies that look at children using medication to delay puberty to *the typical age range* should be considered v weak evidence that there are no long-term effects to delaying to e.g. 18
The picture the article paints, to my mind, is a really fractured medical community where there's not yet a consensus around the circumstances under which kids should be allowed to transition & what tools can be used for that before they're adults. Is that misleading?

IMO, if the "typical transition" for a child *is* only "puberty blockers and social transition," the piece is misleading. And if the trans community broadly endorses an approach that's more cautious than what some of the experts he's citing are worried about, good!
