PURPOSE: Compare psychosocial function at the time of hormone readiness assessment for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth who received pubertal blockade to prevent a nonaffirming puberty with those who did not.
METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of psychological assessment data from hormone readiness evaluations conducted at a multispecialty gender clinic. Participants include all TGD youth between the ages of 13 and 17 assessed for hormone readiness between 2017 and 2021.
RESULTS: Our cohort consisted of 438 TGD youth, 40 who were prescribed pubertal blockade at Tanner stage 2 or 3, and 398 who had not. The blocker population was younger, more likely to be assigned male and affirming a female identity, and had a different racial/ethnic identity distribution. Having puberty blocked was associated with significantly lower T-scores on the Youth Self Report for internalizing problems (β = -7.4, p < .001), anxiety problems (β = -4.6, p = .003), depressive problems (β = -6.5, p < .001), stress problems (β = -4.0, p = .01), and total problems (β = -4.9, p = .003). The blocker population was also significantly less likely to report any suicidal thoughts (odds ratio = 0.38, p = .05). With the exception of increased risk of suicidal thoughts, these associations remained significant when adjusted for gender.
DISCUSSION: At the time of hormone readiness evaluation, TGD youth who received pubertal blockade at Tanner 2 or 3 were found to have less anxiety, depression, stress, total problems, internalizing difficulties, and suicidal ideation than TGD peers who had been through more of a nonaffirming puberty.
