Blocking hormones can have just a bad effect as giving hormones. Hormones are signals for the body. I don't think we know enough about the developmental process to justify interfering with it.

This is a quote from a recent article in the Economist[0].

>One big worry is that puberty blockers seem to reliably lead to cross-sex hormones, in what doctors call a “cascade of interventions”. The best estimate, from studies starting in the 1970s, is that around 80% of gender-dysphoric children who are allowed to express themselves as they wish, but who do not socially transition—change their clothes, pronouns and the like to present as members of the opposite sex—will, as they grow up, become reconciled to their biological sex. Yet puberty blockers seem to prevent that reconciliation.
