Medical procedures under the guise of "transition" should not be legal at all, because it's been proven that the treatment does not improve the mental state of patients, but actually degrades it and puts their physical health in peril.

I completely agree.

Even if one did believe in the pseudoscience of transgender ideology, though, it would be ridiculous to encourage literal children to make such a drastic and irreversible decision.

True, but these people are operating with the mentality that transition is helpful and medically necessary, so why not start it as early as possible? I think we should go for the root and spread awareness that "transitional" procedures are harmful, regardless of the patient's age.
