If a pre-teen is not mature enough for any of the listed (above) then they should wait until they are of an age where they are mature enough.
The issue here lies with the reasoning behind Doctors giving prepubescent children these blockers. It is done to stop puberty till the child is deemed old enough to make these decisions. If you make the child wait then the horse is out of the barn, so to speak. Once puberty has done it's thing, (making us men and women) it is very difficult to unscrew that. This is the prescient point here. To a degree, you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Aren't the blockers doing the same thing they are supposed to be stopping though? I don't know the end result but if you are blocking natural changes, are you still changing them? or does everything carry on as normal when the decision is made to stop? no side effects?
