As I understand it, for the most part, they are only doing hormone-blocking on adolescents. Which has its own set of side effects, but the intent is to put off the hormones until they're old enough to make the decision.

How can they make the right decision until nature has taken its course, until they've experienced the hormone's effects?

I am unsure there is a functional difference. You're still messing around with your brain before it's done developing.
