Puberty blockers aren’t harmful (and definitely not when compared to what is often suicidal depression for those who are denied transition) and the process is entirely reversible if for some reason the person chooses to detransition later (and that’s not very common except in cases where a person fears being trans. It is incredibly rare for someone to get to the point of seeking medical transition and to be unsure if they are actually trans).
There are plenty of medications that interact with these same systems that are infinitely more harmful but don’t fall under such scrutiny. Hormone therapy for cis people regardless of age is rarely under scrutiny. (Big caveat that this is the US though, so like…for instance birth control, a hormone therapy for cis women that is in many places never questioned and given out to anyone who asks actually is under attack in that country)
