I agree that we need to be much more careful when it comes to young people presenting with possible gender dysphoria. There is a reason we treat minors different from adults in life generally, and this should definitely apply to gender transition. However, we should not let the reactionary right turn this into a conspiracy thinking-style accusation of there being an 'industry' trying to profit off transitioning young people. This is too much simplification, and risks feeding into reactionary anti-trans sentiment. I also think the solution is to have professionally developed guidelines on young people presenting with possible gender dysphoria, like they do in Sweden. The way the American right is approaching this issue makes that impossible.
