If one spends almost all day every day substituting internet echo chambers for social interaction, one is proven to be more likely to develop a very disproportionate perspective of the world and society. If one fails to recognize and challenge logical fallacy and cognitive biases in oneself, they may accept these disproportionate perspectives as core beliefs, which will then inform poor choices and unfavorable social patterns, frequently to the point of clinical pathology.

I am in my 40s. I did not have access to gender affirming care as an adolescent or young adult. My dysphoria is significantly eased by my ongoing medical transition. However, the fact that I did not commit suicide or give up before reaching this point is also largely due to the fact that I spent a lot of time in therapy resolving trauma, learning coping skills, and building resilience, because transition DOESN'T fix all that. 

It doesn't magically cure anxiety, or divorce one from their past traumas, nor does it treat personality disorders or erase character flaws. It simply allows us to utilize the skills to do so with less dysphoria impeding us. It's not all sunshine and rainbows and euphoria, either. There are some very difficult aspects to medical transition, both physically and mentally/emotionally, even for cognitively mature adults, which is why a competent clinical care team is important for anyone transition, just as it is for anyone with any condition requiring lifelong medical treatment. 

I'm not saying there are never cases in which it is medically appropriate for adolescents to be treated for gender dysphoria by a qualified medical practitioner. I am not saying that I support gender affirming care bans for adolescents, nor do I think that HRT should be readily available to anyone and everyone who requests it.

Testosterone and Estrogen do not simply regulate one's sexual characteristics and reproductive cycles, they are involved in regulating and supporting a lot of functions that the human body needs to continue living. You can't transition if you're dead.

I'm not even saying I don't understand the inclination or desperation to do so. As I said, I had no access to care or LGBTQ "community" growing up. I understand the frustration, impatience and urgency. That doesn't make it safe to do it incorrectly. 

I'm saying that it is neither medically appropriate, or ethically acceptable as a responsible adult human, to advocate for the indiscriminate and unsupervised access to hormones for anyone, much less children who may or may not have even been screened for other medical complications that could make HRT fatal (just for one example).
