First becoming transgender is an interesting way to put it. Do you become cisgender? Second, puberty blockers are used precisely because children might not be clear on their gender (though the fact that we accept that children are cisgender kinda shows a lot of hypocrisy when it comes to this point). Puberty blockers put off puberty until a child is old enough to have settled into their gender identity. It is reversible by taking a child off the blockers, though more research is needed into the long term effects of extended use. By putting of puberty, a child is able to more easily transition their body to match their gender, because they do not have to remove the changes that occur due to puberty. Doctors will not be performing surgery on children. Instead children will socially transition. This means they will live as the gender they identify as, whatever that means to them.
I say becoming transgender because I believe that everybody has a biological gender whether they like it or not. You are brown either male or female. I’m not saying you shouldn’t change gender, but biologically you are your birth gender, not the gender you’re any. If you want to be a different gender that is fine, I will respect that and call you by your preferred gender. I’m sorry if I sound like I’m not being clear, I’m trying to put in the right words without offending or insulting anyone.
This is some school grade arguements here. Sex and Gender are completely two different things. Sex is biological. XX, XY. Gender is a social construct. In simplest terms, its a spectrum that doesn't necessarily begin or end with masculine or feminine. If someone wants to slide on over to the side that makes them comfortable in their skin, just let them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
