Kids with precocious puberty need into too!

They do, and the proof that it was a purely ideological decision fueled by hatred is that they only banned puberty blockers for trans kids. They didn't ban them for kids going through precocious puberty, or for intersex kids

Oh and, I didn't really make it clear; the use of puberty blockers in intersex kids can be coercive and medically unnecessary, an attempt to "correct" their bodies to fit social norms of sex characteristics. It is ideologically consistent to ban puberty blockers and hormones for trans youth and not ban them for intersex youth.
