"Even where giving kids puberty blockers has been made illegal for trans affirmation, it remains legal for cis kids!"

If it's legal for cis kids, then it's legal for trans kids... with precocious puberty in either case. Looks like you tried to go apples and oranges there.

"... available on demand..."

I'm sympathetic to loosening up the hold that doctors have on prescription drugs, but are you just singling out puberty blockers for this? Carving out a politically protected class of people with special privileges for what drugs they can take insulates those who tow the line from accountability and that's not compatible with freedom.

I'm all for medical freedom with all drugs including when it comes to trans kids. But the thing about freedom is that it doesn't really work without a culture of personal responsibility and accountability to foster it. When it comes to trans kids, I don't think we have that kind of culture yet. The pro-trans and anti-trans activists suck up all the oxygen. Perhaps puberty itself is not so politicized as all that, but to get from here to there you'd have to address trans and the bullshit from both sides.
