Why not? I'm interested in what reasons you can come up with as a medical professional that would make doing so a risky option. Try and take your own ethics out of it, I dare you.
Well here's a study in the damage chest blockers can do:

And honestly interested in why you think giving a young child hormones as they go through puberty isn't going to cause them problems. It can lead to girls voices being wrecked for good and becoming very deep, and permanent infertility is another risk. These treatments are playing with children's lives at a time when they lack the power of consent.
You've yet to offer me anything categorical that isn't already considered.
Very little medicine is completely risk free, nor is making decisions about gender identity for a child an easy one; indeed it's why there's a lot of safeguards in place to make sure that the decision made is the right one. Does that always result in the best outcome? No, it doesn't, but to focus on only the negative rather than the overall effect such things can have with gender dysphoria shows you can't remove your own personal bias from the equation.
Why do it for children at all? Let them decide as an adult instead of dosing them up without care for the consequences. At least some of them will simply grow out of it so I see absolutely no case for medical intervention until they are grown up.
What you're failing to acknowledge is that's already the case for the majority of cases. The situations where hormones are prescribed are where a
lot of boxes have been ticked; there's also the fact that they're more effective pre-puberty so the outcome is more likely to be a desirable one.
Again, you're making it pretty clear that your argument is based on personal opinion and you've not really done any research into this. Trolling is a art though, so congrats on that.
