That those hand-wringing about the lack of research on treatment for trans kids want to stop research on trans kids really gives the game away, doesn’t it?
The subtext to outrage over a clinical trial to get more data on puberty blockers for GAC is that people being trans is an adverse outcome to these people.
You can't say there isn't enough clinical trial evidence and then say we shouldn't do clinical trials.
