While this is PREFERABLE to a more impulsive young teen, it doesn't obviate the fact that even a relatively mature 13-year-old often holds views that may change (or they may regret) as an adult.

To put a finer point on it:
Raise your hand if you were absolutely confident of something at 14 that you now think is totally wrong. Now, what if that something you firmly believed was an irreversible decision (such as permanent infertility)?

And yes, puberty blockers by themselves don't cause permanent infertility, but nearly ALL blocked kids proceed to cross sex hormones (as was noted in the court case), and that combination is what sterilizes.
Top gender specialists are well aware of this. Diane Ehrensaft said parents who hesitate to approve such treatments is only balking because they want grandkids (instead of preserving the right of their child to make an informed decision as an adult).

Mastectomies are not at all uncommon for young teens in the United States. If a UK judge ruled that under-16s can't consent to even (technically reversible) puberty blockers, what about breast removal for a 14-year-old?
