I can't disagree more. There are children who are gender dysphoric or trans, and they NEED puberty blockers. Unfortunately, puberty is taking place earlier and earlier, and once one attains some primary sexual characteristics, it's much harder on the child's psyche to see their body becoming something they don't want it to.

I am a retired first-grade teacher. I have seen six and seven-year-olds sprouting breast buds and girls who have their first period while still in single digits. Puberty blockers may be recommended for them as well. Just because your body does something doesn't mean it's necessarily the "right thing" for your body to do.

No one can help you "understand" if you're predisposed not to want to understand.
