The American College of Pedeiatricians just stated:
Gender Ideology Harms Children
"The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality."
Their point by point statement of why this is abusive and physically dangerous can be found here:

Note: These are medical doctors. Not sociologists. Not politicians. Not psychotherapists.
A good deal of the mental health community agree with the doctors.
And as a general observation, people that pretend to be something they aren't in life, outside the performing arts, generally come to no good end. (Hmmm, that might even be said about those IN the performing arts.) The same holds true in spades for those that actually believe that they're something they aren't. People that based their lives on fantasies used to be remanded for treatment, not coddled to by edict of a wannabe Dictator.
