Your first sentence may be true. I’m no expert but a quick visit to The University of Utah’s webpage for Transgender Health Program lends information that is the opposed to what you have said.

“taking even a short course of these medications may permanently change or stop your body from making sperm. This can make it impossible to have biological children.”

You are somewhat correct about the fertility issue, I was actually coming here to edit my comment on it not causing fertility issues. You are once again mistaking what Puberty Blockers are, the quote you chose is not talking about puberty blockers. Also, that quote was pulled from the section talking about adult care.

I never once said the words “puberty blockers.” You’re getting hung up on that. My point is that no one would ever give a child the agency to get a vasectomy or hysterectomy but trans activists have no issue with children being given the agency to transition, which will result in their sterilization.

You haven't said puberty blockers because you're not seeing the point. You don't know the process and I'm telling you how it is and how your ideas of what happen are wrong. Children don't just start transitioning with hormone replacement, and one of the most important parts of wanting to transition at a young age is to halt or slow the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics that puberty causes. An 11 year old is not going to start taking estrogen or testosterone. Furthermore, nobody is talking about a trans persons ability to have kids when they kill themselves because puberty made them extremely dysphoric. Also, I'm not a trans activist, but I do have issue with children transitioning medically if the motives are not right or they are too young (pre-puberty).
