Adolescents who were born males who were placed on puberty blockers at Tanner stage 2 have no sexual function. This is despite the discussion that medications have no side effects reported. Dr. Marci Bowers has repeated this repeatedly and Dr. Joshua Safer, who wrote the Endocrine Society's guidelines on transgender affirmative health care, has backed her up. Here's her testifying to that fact on Mount Sinai Hospital's own YouTube channel with Katie Curry hosting. And she even says she doesn't think they gave true informed consent. https://youtu.be/PUxl50_X2i4?t=4104
