> It's unclear what age puberty is "supposed to" happen. The age of onset of puberty has gotten substantially younger, even just over the past couple hundred years.

The change over the past couple hundred years is measured on the order of a couple years at most.

This has nothing at all to do with hormonal intervention until adult ages. Once someone reaches adulthood the window for a lot of changes has closed.

> Puberty blockers do not themselves induce changes. They block hormones whose job is to trigger release of sex hormones which would induce changes.

You're either not understanding, or trying to avoid an inconvenient point: Once blocked during critical periods, many of those changes simply cannot happen at a later date.

Puberty cannot be delayed until adulthood and then resumed as if nothing happened.

I feel like you ignored my entire last paragraph. I don't know how to respond to this without just pasting it again.

I read it, but you keep moving the goalposts around so much and introducing irrelevant detours that I can't respond to everything you write, sorry.

I've been consistent about my point, but you've introduced so many other topics including the "maybe it's only for a year or two" point that this is just one big gish gallop

Your point about puberty happening earlier and earlier also contradicts your arguments about how it might only be for a year or two
