Nowadays there are more and more trans kids (both m to f and f to m) who take puberty blockers and begin hormone treatment to allow them to circumvent having to go through puberty based on the gender they were assigned at birth.. I don't know any numbers, but this is becoming more and more common.

Just throwing this on the table, because I'm really tired of people insisting that ALL trans women go through male puberty. It is really NOT that simple.
