    Point 1: gender is sexual

    Gender is a social construct around behavioural and social traits, sexuality is who one is sexually attracted to, I honestly cannot see how you can correlate the two beyond “this gender is usually heterosexual”.

    Point 2: children should not make puberty decisions unless they are mature, and to be mature they must go through puberty

    If a child is mature enough to go through puberty, then they should be mature enough to make decisions about their puberty.

    Why force someone to go through a puberty they hate, and only after they are finished and the changes become irreversible do you allow them to make a decision on how they wish to mature?

    I understand this point of view because I used to also hold it, but I’m trying to express to you that forbidding puberty blockers causes the exact same problem, someone uninformed on a subject comes to regret their action (or inaction).
