My worry about this is what it actually changes.
These drugs for this use were ALWAYS regarded as experimental. The problem was the lack of research accompanying it and this lack of research being followed up as massively problematic.
We now are being told that children WILL be prescribed puberty blockers, but only part of research. We aren't being told how many children this will involve, how they will be selected and how these children will be filtered out from those who are gay/lesbian, have a history of sexual abuse or trauma or have particularly pushy / ideologically driven parents.
This is still problematic as this is the NHS legitimising the experimentation of puberty blockers on children at a time when the evidence out there already isn't good and there's no efforts to follow up on the children and adults who ALREADY have had puberty blockers BEFORE experimenting on a whole pile of 'fresh meat'.
The WPATH files might merely be prompting a pr exercise on the continued prescribing of puberty blockers rather than addressing the concerns raised by unscrupulous clinics quoted in the files which are ethically immoral and go against pretty much all existing medical ethics wisdoms.
I don't want to be all doom or gloom but I still have concerns and don't see it as cause for celebration. It's perfectly possible that this will still result in a real terms increase in the number of children taking puberty blockers and it doesn't mean that there will be restrictions placed on those children eligible for the trial.
