It is all about the money. Big pharma and other companies are making lots of money using humans as test animals. I found a good article, albeit in a right-leaning website but we need all the help that we can get. Hope it’s ok to post it:

Who are the rich white men institutionalizing transgender ideology?

It's also currently a $300m industry - projected to be $1.5b by 2026 - https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/sex-reassignment-surgery-market

while I sometimes think big pharma can harm others (like misdiagnosing people with Lyme disease as schizophrenia), the medication that I have taken has helped me in my life. I had really bad asthma when I was a toddler and a kid (currently in remission), and I also have treated eczema and depression, and it has helped me throughout my life. Are there some horrible doctors? Yes. Are all of them bad? No.

Of course not. I am specifically talking about the emerging industry that is more than happy to make a buck on the backs of children, teens and adults that instead of dealing with developmental or mental health issues of identity, are medicating and performing surgeries to make a buck in this new, big money industry.

That’s a good point, given the fact that mental illness in general is preferentially treated with medication, often foregoing therapy completely .
