I don't think this will ever happen, and disagree with Thor's take that there's the potential that outcome data would ever justify considering it.
If there were a SJW path forward, it would far more likely be the case that advocates would strive to lower medical age-of-consent laws for hormone therapy as opposed to attempting to penalize the 'denial' of puberty blockers. The foster care system is already struggling as-is, and removing a child from the home is (I think) more difficult than some might assume.*
*Yes, there are rare cases of overzealous, inappropriate actions by CPS/the state.
it's nearly impossible without a clear documented history of physical abuse.

I think the outcome data would have to be super stark to justify removing a kid from their home for them to get hormone therapy, so I think it's very unlikely to be justified. I just really don't like "THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN" mindsets.
my overall opinion is that it wouldnt be justified in the opinion of most people, but that due to p.c. reasons people dont stands up to it and it happens in a very liberal area due to some kind of human right's panel being created on a state level similar to Canada's.
like Portland based Human Right's commission deems lack of puberty blockers for 12 year old who has 20k Instagram followers neglect and abuse and child is removed from home.
i'd have not believed this pre-covid with things like CHOP and government ceding control to fanatics. i think we're going to see a big continuation of that in some areas.
