You're asking exactly the right question: Why wouldn't trans activists who are truly concerned about gender dysphoric/trans-identifying children want to have the best possible psychological and physical care? This should be of utmost importance. The fact that this is not the case in 99% of these activists reveals that their intentions and motivations are not genuine.
What's horrible about this is that this blind ideology will destroy children's bodies:
Unfortunately there is a great deal of ideological claptrap in much of feminism that has contributed substantially to the problem.
Fairly decent article over at RLS that acknowledges those "contributions" before snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by laying the bulk of the blame at the feet of the scapegoat of postmodernism:
Think the roots of the problem go rather deeper than that, and which condemn much of society -- on virtually all sides of the transgender clusterfuck -- for pervasive scientific illiteracy:
Oh yes, scientific illiteracy definitely plays a huge role - "science" (TM) is certainly not what it used to be, given that institutions have long been ideologically captured and won't even accept the material reality in front of their eyes.
Which makes all of this all the more flabbergasting and dramatic: We are denying basic biological facts. We are telling kids you can "change your sex", which is beyond unscientific. And we are denying the most fundamental fact of all (I, for one, cannot think of something more fundamental), namely the sexual dimorphism of human nature. Male + female = offspring. That's it.
And my articles on the corruption of various Statistics departments -- including New Zealand's, and, sadly, Canada's own -- and on, more generally, the increasing prevalence of outright Lysenkoism
But quite agree with your comments about "change your sex" -- a particularly odious and egregious "Big Lie". "Not through me", as Solzhenitsyn put it.
IF we were to redefine sex so reproductive ability wasn't an essential trait -- as too many are clearly trying to do -- THEN, sure, change your genitalia, change your sex. But much of biology, if not all of it, is based on understanding evolution, a central or essential element of which is, of course, reproduction.
People aren't obliged to reproduce, of course. But to trick autistic and dysphoric children into thinking that mangling their genitalia turns them into the opposite sex has to qualify as a medical scandal of the first water, a crime of the century. Bunch of "doctors" should lose their licenses, if not be strung up by their nuts and left to twist in the wind.
Likewise agree with your comments about sexual dimorphism. ICYMI, very good article here -- even just the abstract and introduction -- on how the evolution of that dimorphism goes back some billion years to two fundamentally and profoundly different types of gametes:

"ideologically captured 'science' ", indeed.
