Likely, though again, no-win situation: It makes sense, but all it takes is one doctor who restricts medical transition to an under-18, the kid offs themselves, and the grieving parents file a malpractice lawsuit under "If only you had just agreed to transition them my baby would still be alive today!" - and the doctor's in the same boat as they would have been otherwise.

The real practical approach would be: Have doctors/parents save the receipts. That way, when the detransitioner inevitably does make a lawsuit against them, the doctors/parents can prove to the court "wait a second, we agreed under duress against our will because YOU held your own life hostage to get to transition. You threatened to off yourself if we didn't agree to do this transition/these surgeries to you" = and would require the courts to take this information into place and make the legal decision "Careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

(Note: This also ties to why the groomers could have a chance at being sued as responsible in this case; since they do most of their work on the Internet and were a friend of the detransitioner, the detransitioner likely has receipts or can get from Skype/Discord/etc. the receipts proving the groomer gave them a script of how to threaten suicide to get their way from the parents/doctors, or gave them ways to get HRT without it...which in turn can lead to courts finding them culpable for it.)
