Preaching to the choir here. I already know the data you've just listed. My point still stands.

Trans children who wish to go on puberty blockers don’t consent to puberty.

But inaction is always more moral than action, even when it harms people, right? When we see that we’re about to run over 5 people, but we could instead run over 1 by pulling a lever, we shouldn’t pull the lever?

I don't consent to being ugly, but we don't let children get plastic surgery. Poor self esteem is directly linked to mental health, just like gender dysphoria.
Plastic surgery is not comparable to puberty blockers.
