I think it's pretty obvious that the mother is consenting.

I don't think consent is the issue. The problem is two-fold from my point of view:

- Kids being subjected to hormone therapy and puberty blockers (while they can't even get a tattoo), which is pure child abuse

- The silencing of opposing viewpoints

Delaying the effects of puberty until a child can make informed decisions about how their body should develop is the least abusive option compared to witholding intervention and forcing the child to undergo a puberty which is likely to cause significant psychological harm.
