You don't just go to to a Wal-mart and buy these puberty blocking drugs over the counter. The child is under the care and supervision of a medical doctor familiar with the case who knows more than a 5 minute sound bite on TV.

This isn't the first case of something like this occurring and it won't be the last. Gender Identity Disorder is in the DSM and has a known treatment. If behavior therapy worked on GID, they'd be using it, because it's a heck of a lot cheaper and easier than surgery and hormones.
