No, because puberty blockers can be assigned to children (in fact, children are the only applicable group here). They just can't be assigned to children specifically because they are transgender. Similarly, mastectomies are available treatment for teens... they just can't be used as a treatment for teens assigned female at birth.

Allowing mastectomies for male-born but not female-born individuals seems like pretty clear-cut gender discrimination. (Not as murky as the hormone issue, at least.) Has that one hit the Supreme Court yet?
Yes, very recently.
