The trial is completed already..

Doctors at The Tavistock And Portman NHS Foundation Trust in North London have just completed a three-year trial involving 12- to 14-year-olds, assessing the ‘psychological, social and physical benefits and risks involved’

Because the trial was deemed such a success, medics have decided to make the drugs more widely available – and to much younger children. Yet only five years ago national guidelines stated that treatment for ‘gender dysphoria’ should not start until puberty had finished.

Yes sorry my post wasn't clear there, I think the feeling is that these feelings of confusion are easier to deal with prepubescent.
Once puberty hits then the change will be harder and more traumatic, so this is buying time perhaps, the trial being a success shows that it seemingly is more beneficial than the treatment currently available perhaps?

..I am a bit torn about this tbh but my main worry is that there is concern over brain development, bone growth and fertility through these drugs so it feels as though children are being 'experimented' on with some very possible severe consequences....
