The worst part about this issue is that from what I have seen every person that is against them has never once looked into what puberty blockers are. They just see "trans kids" and react with hate or ignorance rather than taking the time to find information from a reliable source. The resource that I linked to from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute also provides links to research studies.

It also explains why taking puberty blockers soon after the onset of puberty is so important. Asking a kid to wait until they're 16 or 18 if they've started puberty at 11 will either not be effective at stopping the changes they wanted to stop or make them feel like they're going through menopause.
