You know, since she communicates entirely through smug word salads it's really hard to pin down exactly what Stephie is saying. I can think of three directions this strip is going.
1) Stephie is supporting mandatory hormone blockers for all children until they are old enough to determine their gender. This of course conflicts with a major point of Labelle's philosophy: children know best about their identity and should have the final say on the matter. Of course, Labelle is a hypocrite so who knows.
2) Stephie is sarcastically suggesting cis children be put on blockers. This is because Labelle disagrees with the idea natal children should be considered normal and is trying to make some point to that effect.
3) Stephie thinks both tranny and cis children should have unlimited access to hormone blockers at their sole discretion. Either because they already "know" or because they want to stave off biology long enough to make a decision. Two major themes of AM are child agency and unlimited gender fluidity, so this is the most likely explanation.
I'm going for 2) and 3)
But considering the lunacy that passes for thought in this strip, I may be entirely optimistic not going with 1)
