For you, its transparent that the politics come first, and engagement with actual trans people doesn't occur at all. You don't really grasp what these concepts are; they've morphed into some twisted monster in your head.
OK so the last trans person I knew personally went the following.
Straight girl (dated my best friend for years before breaking up)
Went to University
2nd year of university after a failed relationship there decided she was a lesbian
End of university they'd decided they were actually a a guy trapped in a girls body and were Trans
2 years on fully transitioned to being a man, complete with doing some stereotypical "I'm a man" things like growing a moustache and riding and buying a motorbike.
1 year later stopped identifying as a man and shaved off the moustache now identifying as a non binary individual.
1 year later apparently they're very messed up and now wish they never went away from being a woman.
And this was some-one who wasn't the most feminine but wasn't full on tomboy either. If I had to take a guess it's the crowd she fell in with at Uni and her own insecurities mixing as funnily enough 5 of her friends group (of7 including her at uni) all came out as lesbian in the same year then all decided the year after they were actually trans.
Still failing to grasp even the most basic principles of gender affirming care. Maybe one day you'll put some effort into understanding what something is before ascribing a moronic strawman to it and then getting furious at it.
Nah dudes got a point Dr Kenneth J. Zucker research supported the idea of a cautious approach and part of his downfall (he was a former leading researcher who helped pioneer much of gender affirming care) was suggesting people were rushing to conclusions and medicating first rather than asking questions and was worried people were trying to act under the belief of their actions were good and right and rushing straight ahead based on those beliefs rather than stopping and doing the actually good thing for the patient in the long run and taking a little more time to check over things.
Oh and before we get the "No-one has been jumping the gun" reply.

Telling kids stuff is reversible. Sending stuff to kids without parents knowledge (doing medical care / work on an underage person without consent or immediate need such as treat to life)
Material from Mermaids was very much reinforcing strict gender divides and suggesting anyone outside of them (Tomboys, boys who likes cooking or were feminine in any way) were potentially trans and should be referred to check and for possible treatment
New guidance for teachers has been published on relationships and sex education with issues around transgender clarified for the first time

Oh and we had the case against Travistock

Oh and didn't Labour recently block the use of puberty blockers for the foreseeable future?
This is before we get into the less reported on (at least that I could find) claims around Mermaids and others about them
Oh and lets not forget the unlicensed GenderGP stuff whose founder is facing prosecution in the UK for their activities

That also goes into the idea of pushing for no psychological assessment before the surgeries
People who are Trans based on the Dr Verma's (leading neurology researcher) research and or proper psychological evaluation with understanding of present lets say influences and issues then sure gender affirming care should be done but there very much is concern people are being railroaded and no-one is saying stop at any point just to check.
What Tstorm is hitting on to call out here though not as directly is that the progressive position that gender is entirely a social construct and is not and has never been based on sexual differences as such. Oh and Dr Verma's research is why I disagree with that so called progressive position because Dr Vermas research holds weight.
