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.

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.

It shouldn't be provided to children at all.
