Interesting how many countries in Europe are ending this mode of treatment and going back to the way gender dystopia was always treated. With a psychiatrist. I guess you believe that those countries are hateful. While actually they are trying to treat the root cause of the problem

conservatards are so pathetic
your reply shows that you are doing your best to avoid the issue. Young impressionable people change their mind all the time. Adults do too. Whether it's drugs or surgery you are doing irreversible harm to your body. Many people who went through this transition process have come out and publicly told how altering their body physically did nothing to aleve their mental state of thinking they were not the gender that they were born as. At Ironically at that point the very doctors and therapists that encouraged their transition simply drop them saying "there is nothing I can do for you." In the near future there will be many lawsuits. And just as is happening in Europe the practice will be stopped.
I actually kind of agree with you when you say that young impressionable people should be protected from making life-altering decisions about their bodies in case they end up changing their minds. But the reality is that de-transition rates sits around 1%, and the most cited reasons for de-transitioning seems to be pressure from parents, harassment and discrimination. It seems like when it comes to identifying as trans, people actually seem to be pretty sure of themselves. If the de-transitioning rate all of sudden started SKYROCKETING then we should absolutely be re-thinking things. But as of now, that just isn't the case.
Edit: the de-transition rate is magnitudes lower than things like knee surgery and heart surgery. Surgeries people generally feel very positively about in terms of helping people. Why can a child get a heart surgery - something that isn't remotely controversial - to save their life, but not a child getting gender affirmative care to keep them suffering and from killing themselves?
