It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘you know, I decided I wanted to become a man or want to become a woman’

No someone or something has planted that idea in the kids head and theres some other crap going on in the kids life whatever it is that is making them think that's their answer.

I mean, what are they thinking about here? They’re human beings. They love. They have feelings. They have inclinations.“

A good question. What exactly are they thinking? And why? They want something that is impossible? Should we lie to them and get rich off if medical treatments trying to make them "appear" as much like the thing they say they are as possible but never will truly be? Or should we step back and ask far more basic question like, why? What I see is gender transitions being floated as an answer for depression and while I do think that giving any sort of structure or purpose to someone's life will show immediate improvements there which is why we do see self reported rates of happiness higher among the recently transitioned, it begs the question will the long term outcomes be desirable? It seems there is no real decrease in the suicide rate.

Essentially this just looks to me like a way to profiteer heavily off of depression.
