Gender dysphoria is a condition for which the *only* working treatment is affirmation.
Disaffirmed trans people have an extremely high suicide rate. That includes trans children.
Trans children kill themselves every single day because their parents tell them to stop being silly, or send them to counsellors who treat their transness as something that needs to be fixed.
Per this 2022 study:
82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves.
40% have actually attended it.
Among trans youth specifically, 86% have considered it and 56%, over half, have attempted suicide.

These rates are 7.6 times higher than cisgender, heterosexual youth.
Gender affirming care reduces this risk by 73%.
Why are we denying children medical care that reduces their risk of dying by 73%? If it was a treatment for children with cancer with this success rate and the parents denied them it, then they might well find themselves in court.
