"For transgender children who think their bodies are the wrong sex, puberty can be terrifying. To alleviate this psychological trauma, physicians are increasingly giving transgender adolescents drugs to block puberty until their bodies — and decision-making abilities — are mature enough to begin cross-sex hormone treatment, typically at age 16."

Knowledge is good, so it's a good thing they're conducting this study.

As long as the results aren't used to limit the choices given to transgender youth.

the sad thing is that no matter how affirmative the results are for transgender youth there are those groups that will twist and turn the results to affirm their own ideology .
