You could totally concede that trans is legit and everything, and still make a strong argument against puberty blockers for kids. Just for giggles, I’ll do so. Since he’d been on blockers, this kid’s options were (a) go through with a much more dangerous version of vaginoplasty than, er, “normal,” and (b) go forward in life as a man with about a one-inch penis. Let’s say you concede that trans is legit, both of those options are significantly worse than letting the kid grow up and decide between (a) a comparatively safe (and less disgusting!) form of vaginoplasty and (b) just living as a normal-proportioned man. So there isn’t even a good argument for puberty blockers regardless of what your stance on trans is, unless you just want to lock boys into future transition by making sure that otherwise they will be a tiny penised male, which is all but certain to convince them they ought to transition.
unless you just want to lock boys into future transition
That's precisely why they they rush puberty blockers and hormones. They want to make detrans impossible, or at the very least as miserable as possible.
Which achieves two things: it makes the victim more likely to talk themselves into remaining a leftist zealot to avoid confronting what has been done to them, and if they do deprogram themselves they're more likely to dispose of themselves rather than reverting to a normal conservative man. The only way it could backfire is if they start taking their groomers down with them, but I've never heard of that happening.
