There's no consensus at all among doctors about prescribing hormone blockers to underage patients. In fact, among medical people I've talked to in the last 15 years, I've seen no evidence any of them support it. But unlike 15 years ago, they've now been intimidated into silence. We can see where this is headed in Europe: back to where it was before this destructive craze of quackery started. They'll do occasional sex-change operations on adults, after careful consideration and weighing of risks, if the adult (almost always male) really wants it and feels he can't live any other way. What they'll no longer do is inflict it on naive adolescents and their parents, if their parents even know.
