Immersiveunreality made me reply for me pretty much one to one. I just want to state that you are putting words in my mouth before I write anything, please ask the question and not state it as something factual, I do not think that the anything wrong with being transgender. What I do think Is wrong is this trend of considering kids to be transgender before their brain has even half developed to adulthood. I think there should be an age limit into he same way other life altering choices are age restricted. 16 would seem to be a reasonable age to start considering this with exceptions in rare cases under the examintmation of experts. 

We are not talking about physical transitioning here. No three year old is undertaking hormone therapy. As such, we are not talking about life altering decisions. There is nothing life altering about a child who was born a male wearing a dress and growing their hair out. If it is determined that the child is not transgendered at the time in which physical transitioning typically starts, they could simply not transition.

I understand what you mean but mental development is evenly important for a child and if treated wrongly it might make them depressed for the rest of their lives.

And if you think that all people working as "experts"on that field act humane then you should consider that ideology can seep into even the medical and mental health departments like a plague,some are in for profit and others are ignorant.

I have been very much invested into the treatment of autistic kids and maybe you think that is a bad comparison but i learned people in those fields sometimes just care about their own wellbeings and they see those kids as moneymachines and we are some good steps ahead with autists compared to transgender kids.

Consider those possibilities please and consider we are far away from having perfect treatment and support for those poor kids and that was clearly the concern of the OP so no need to put a HATER stamp on his forehead because he made this thread out of worry.
