Many people assume that term means genital surgery, but in this case we're talking about hormone treatments designed to delay puberty. We're not even talking about hormone replacement therapy to induce a puberty other than what would otherwise occur. As far as life-changing decisions go, I think it's much more life-changing to allow puberty to occur than it is to delay to give the child more time to make a decision. And the former can be incredibly damaging when the child is consistently voicing a need not to be forced through that. Additionally, children have to deal with life-changing decisions all the time, such as whether or not to work hard in school. What, if any, extra curicular activities to go through, and how hard to study for standardized and placement tests. My childhood wasn't too far back and I remember being told that the results of a test would drastically change my life as young as 12, and told that my studying math would make or break my adulthood as young as 8.
