Indeed. From what I've read, the vast majority, like 80-90% of dysphoric children who go through puberty have their dysphoria disappear. But something like 95% of dysphoric children who go through puberty blockers eventually move on to X-sex hormones, which have huge effects on fertility, ability to enjoy sex, among other significant side effects. These are things to which children can't meaningfully consent.

And indeed, this is why England shutdown their main gender clinic, and Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have all basically stopped putting dysphoric children on puberty blockers: because the evidence that the benefits outweigh the harms is simply not there.
