The reason they do that is because starting them too early permanently halts the development of sexual function (see my Marci Bowers quote from the other comment),




That claim is absurd on its face. Is there any actual evidence for it?




There's no evidence starting them after Tanner II helps minimize the impact on the brain.




There's no evidence that there is any impact on the brain to minimize in the first place.




Also keep in mind that this proves blockers are not reversible, contrary to what is often claimed by professionals in trans case.




I suppose it would prove that, if it were true that blockers permanently halted the development of sexual function.




There isn't really any evidence for that




Can you clarify this statement?


If you're saying there's no evidence that transition is easier, safer, and more effective for people who haven't completed natal puberty, then that's simply absurd - such a claim would imply a total unfamiliarity with both human sexual development and the procedures involved in transition. So I have to assume that's not what you mean.




How does the experience of changing your name, dressing a different way, or going to the other bathroom help to inform you about making permanent modifications to your body?




It helps inform you about how committed you really are to living as the other gender. If you can't stand being called by a girl's name or being treated as a girl, you might wanna think twice about becoming a girl, right?

it's another to ask ~14 year olds make permanent, "no take backsies" decisions about their bodies. Doesn't the idea strike you as completely bonkers?




By that logic, shouldn't 14 year olds be put on mandatory puberty blockers until they're old enough in your view to make permanent decisions about their bodies? After all, the effects of natal puberty are every bit as permanent as the effects of cross-sex hormones and reassignment surgery.

I don't think an explanation that relies on novel speculation about the causes of gender dysphoria and/or the effects of puberty is necessarily more "obvious" than one that relies on a common statistical phenomenon.
