I don't know who needs to hear it, but just a reminder:
* Puberty blockers are a centrist compromise offered to appease cis people who believe they should have control over trans kids lives
* Kids getting gender affirming care is not "between the parents and doctor". It is the informed consent of the child. The only role the parents and doctor play are navigating the best way to ensure they are not gatekeeping/oppressing the child.
* Youth can advocate for themselves, and adults/cis people need to work out for themselves how to deal with that. Denying life saving care and identity affirmation is pretty clearly more oppressive than staying in line with ethical norms and providing care and affirming the youth.
