Gender Dysphoria isn't like a broken bone, it's like Body Integrity Identity Disorder, the condition that makes you want to chop a limb off.
The reason that doctors grilled patients about their identity or other life and mental health problems, is because they want to identify if a person is actually trans and would be best served by medical intervention, or if there is perhaps some different issue that can be solved in a manner that doesn't require causing permanent harm to the body. This is especially important as most "trans" children no longer identify as such when they're older.
Medical intervention, whether hormones or surgery, is a drastic step and shouldn't be treated differently because trans activist want to pretend differently. If it truly is best for the individual, okay, but there are many individuals it's not a good choice for. This includes many who have detransitioned, some of who are suing the NHS because when they approached them as patients, the staff immediately started them on transitioning. Something these people have determined wasn't in their interests, and has harmed them.
If it truly is best for the individual, okay, but there are many individuals it's not a good choice for.
I simply no longer trust medical professionals to make those decisions. The law needs to stay their hands. When we've reached the point where parents and doctors can conspire to mutilate a child's body in the name of "affirming" mental illness, I'm no longer asking them to stop. That's when it becomes Deus Vult time.
All the medical professionals who offered the slighted resistance to medical intervention, including the people that did the necessary work to determine if it was the best option for the individual have been fired. In Canada it is now illegal to do anything but affirm.
There are a lot of other reasons why someone might think they are, but not. Depression, grooming, kids going through awkward moments of puberty. There are a lot of people with a fetish instead of actual dysphoria, probably almost all of the most active ones.
See, that's the problem. It's a psychological condition, which comes with countless subjective standards to determine what it truly is, and whether someone may have it.
So many mental health problems stem from how people perceive things and what they come to believe based on these perceptions. One can (and plausibly does) simply think himself into mental illness.
I think allowing people to pursue transition the way they can presently creates too many opportunities for harm without real benefit. I would rather there be a standard made in assessing it (and other ailments) in neuropsychological settings.
I wish the last doctors I saw actually probed my "identity" instead of acting like retards. The first one went on auto-pilot after connecting 2 words and treated me like one treats a female patient.
Had unexplainable high pain to the dick like a needle jabbed into it. Absolute torture.
Female doctor immediatly dismissed the extreme level of pain and "diagnosed" a urinary tract infection. On a young male. With urine sample showing no bacterial infection but a tint of blood.
She heard "burn" and "urine", ignored everything else and treated me like I was a woman saying "it burns when I pee" with antibiotics you'd give a woman with a UTI.
To emphasis how extremely stupid and dangerous that was, a male patient showing up with symptoms of urinary tract infection very rarely has the bacteria in his bladder, because the urinary tract of men is too long. The bacteria is usually leaking from a testicular or prostate infection, which is a medical emergency.
When antibiotics did nothing ( because FUCKING DUH ) she insisted her permavirgin patient give samples for STD screening. Which all came back negative, because FUCKING DUH again.
The next doctors were exactly as helpful. One insisted to do the STD tests again. I had to do the unthinkable : self diagnosed and fix the problem myself. Thank god the fix didn't require something behind a government-inforced "expert" wall.
Did I mention the excrutiating pain through all of this? I wanted to die. There was no pain relief, because doctor's procedure chart for their incorrect diagnostic said "NSAID and tylenol", which didn't help at all.
I do mind, but if nobody discusses these sort of embarassing health problems, nobody knows about them, so :
Tens of thousands of daily small impacts from walking. Dick bouncing from walking fast with lax underwear to cool off, while walking everywhere 10 miles every single day, so no time to heal.
On the underside of the penis is the urethra. It eventually developped micro-tears inside, causing constant medium pain and batshit crazy pain while peeing. Like urine on a raw wound. Inside the dick.
The simple solution was tighter underwear and endure the pain while it healed.
I didn't connect the dots initially because there was no acute pain from walking, and the doctor only mentionned extreme sport as a possible factor, and who thinks of walking from that? Nobody. In fact the doctor was incredulous at follow-up when I explained.
That I can replicate the problem and fix it the same way didn't seem to convince the doctor either. Did I mention I now dislike doctors, alot?

Mutilation is never the answer.
It is however a massive money maker and the medical industry is full of the absolute worst sort of greedy psychopaths and spineless yes-men.

It shouldn't be provided to children at all.

What is "actually trans"?
Someone with actual gender dysphoria.
There are a lot of other reasons why someone might think they are, but not. Depression, grooming, kids going through awkward moments of puberty. There are a lot of people with a fetish instead of actual dysphoria, probably almost all of the most active ones.

There used to be doctors that specialized in it. They've been run out of the business by activists.

I now hate doctors.
