No, the point is you aren't their doctor. (which is what was said)
Nor are you (or I) part of the conversation in any way. The conversation exists (and should exist) only between children, their parents, and their healthcare professionals.
It's ridiculous for a third party to go "I don't know this child, I don't know their parents, I don't know what their relationship is like, I don't know their personal history, I don't know what their doctor has said to them or what the parameters of that discussion have been, but I know whether that child should transition, go on puberty blockers, or wait."
Sure, of course you can have an opinion, but why on earth you would think it should impact any specific child's outcome, or that anyone really cares what it is? It's an intrinsically private and personal decision.
