*Your comparison of legislature to limit hormone therapy, to pleading for genocide, is especially dishonest. Restrictions to any sort of medical treatment, especially for minors and young children, are to prevent creating, prolonging, and worsening the need for such treatments, on patients who are out of their damn minds and don't know what treatment they truly need. Especially since many of them act purely on influence, narcissism, or just want to have fun.*
That is what ultimately leads to suicide of these children, it goes against the recommendation of the American Psychological Assiociation and the large majority of therapists working with these people. It is not up to government to interfere in the medical treatment of people they are ignorant about, it is a harsh overstep and should not happen, how would it feel like if government was interfering in your own treatment, in something that is between you and the doctor. It is within the right of a parent and the doctor to give consent for a child, and that is being taken away. Many of these children know what they want, just like they know what makes them feel good, what they like to eat and what not, the reason puberty blockers were introduced for them in the first place because of the reports in several countries where children used to cut off their genitals as they couldnt hold on anymore, that is what gender dysphoria is. Based on studies I read these particular children should never ever reach puberty that is causing damage to their psychological well being and the body itself, again, this is based on the recommendation of therapists and psychologists working with these people, not outsiders who are ideologically driven with emotion and ignorance. Gender dysphoria itself is rooted in people's genes, and it differs in degrees in terms of severity, that is why preventing some children from transitioning ultimately leads to a systemic genocide of a certain portion of trans people in the population.
