Transgender and nonbinary youth who received gender affirming medical care experienced greatly reduced rates of suicidality and depression over the course of 12 months.

Also, more importantly, trans girls, trans boys, trans men, trans women? A lot of times, it is just the only way that society allows a child or adult to express nonconformity: like it or not, a lot of people don't just see gender nonconformity as how they see themselves, but as how society perceives them.

And people that aren't okay with people identifying as another binary gender than what they're assigned at birth, would likely never be okay treating somebody as truly nonbinary. People who see what they think is a transgender kid, don't actually know if that child is binary or not. You don't know if any kid is. Binaries can't actually be perceived by bystanders.

In reality, a child may decide they're nonbinary and their treatment will still err towards gender transition because there's not actually any correct way to be binary or nonbinary: a lot of people throw around 'gender nonconformity' because they think it's a matter of 'letting people dress differently' or maybe take up some effeminate hobbies and talk as though they're trying to placate kids away from just being the gender they're assigned at birth.

And it just plain doesn't work that way. Kids are what they are.
