Puberty blockers are used after talking with a doctor and determining that the benefits of delaying puberty outweigh the potential risks. That's how pretty much everything is prescribed for everyone, including children.

In a lot of these cases, the risk of not delaying puberty can include self-harm, suicide, adult gender dysphoria, less social acceptance as an adult, and being less satisfied with life as an adult.
