Take Jazz Jennings. She's an MtF who transitioned young. Thanks to blockers and hormones, her penis never developed, and it can't be used in a sex "change" operation, because there's not enough material there.

Yes, Jazz is an exceptionally sad case. And yes, this is another issue with blockers. If the patient ever wants to go for full SRS in the future, the surgeons have nothing to work with. So whilst Jazz may look more feminine, the sex dysphoria will be even more horrendous as she can never have the surgery that she thinks would help her. Due to having the penis of a prepubescent child and not enough 'material' to work with. All so sad, and again, I don't see why there is so much support for it, at all. So many reasons to be against...

I expect Jazz will have huge health issue in the future anyway, due to blockers and cross sex hormones.

There have been no studies on the long term effects of blockers+SRS, so I guess now she's started the ball (heehee) rolling, she may as well be the weathervane.
