Puberty blockers are a common treatment for transgender children to delay the onset of puberty and prevent the development of unwanted physical characteristics associated with their birth sex. This allows them more time to explore their gender identity before irreversible changes occur. It is recommended that any medical treatment for transgender children be overseen by a doctor who specializes in gender issues.
