If this person on twitter is a reliable source then the defence is really putting their foot in it. Especially:

12 or 13 year olds already having sex so can't make a 'global statment' that any child is nessiscerly incapable of understanding these matters

What is the age of consent for then? The mind boggles.

Here’s a question for the defense, are 12 or 13 year olds having sex with each other? Or are they being coerced into having sex by much older individuals? Because those are two widely different things.

Knowing the stories of many detransitioners it's likely the latter option. Some transition because they blame their sex for making them the target of their abuser, this happens to both sexes.

That is so sad. It's like when kids try to make themselves ugly through various methods of harming themselves so they won't be abused anymore, except instead of getting mental health treatment for the trauma and the ways they try to harm their bodies they get praise for it.
