I'd guess it's either:

(1) Big pharma has a LOT of money to gain by creating life-long medical patients, and since big pharma controls a lot of the mainstream media, it's pervasive

(2) This is a swing back from the way the lgb community has been treated over the last 50 years. Nobody wants to seem like they're on the wrong side of history, so they're bending over backwards for trans ideology while conflating the two. edit: And a lot of the trans laws were just lumped into previous laws. For example, in Canada the reason an 11 year old can get cross-sex hormones is because an 11 year old can get birth control...... the cross-sex hormones were lumped under the same umbrella as birth control without laws changing to recognize it as something totally different. it's the same for therapy - gay conversion therapy is illegal, and therefore "trans conversion therapy" is illegal (i.e. therapy before going on cross-sex hormones is illegal). Trans ideology took over before the laws could be ammended.

(3) (This is the most conspiracy theorist answer, but I love a good conspiracy, especially a controversial one) Population control - by sterilizing a whole generation of teenagers with mental health issues, this will help control the population by creating a whole generation of infertile adults in the next ~10-20 years. If you want to get darker, this is the mass sterilization of the autistic.

I'd say it's number 2 with a heavy side of obliviousness. Making "conversion therapy" illegal sounds like the humane thing to do. People are probably picturing doctors giving gays and lesbians electroshock therapy like what happened in the olden days. I don't believe they understand what it means in terms of children who are brought to gender therapists. I have to assume that most still have the idea that actual therapy is part of treatment for all trans people, but most especially for children.

Population control

You know that, as much as it's a conspiracy theory, I've been indulging into this consideration too: the media is promoting "trans ideology" and pushing it especially on the youngest generations, despite it not being actually popular among most people....... to try to reduce the number of people.

Conspiracy theory? Yes - I almost wish the people in power were really so organized they could pull off such a grand scheme. However..... could this all be an instinctive reaction to overpopulation that's happening to our species without consciously realising it? Maybe. I don't think that's TOO weird an idea.

Or maybe, hear this out: it's our old instinct to appease some supernatural order that our species perceives
