Then clearly nature gets it very badly wrong sometimes; if someone has been born into the wrong body & is distressed by that then the option for change should be available.
How about accepting children/adults as who they truly feel & say they are rather than an imposed gender which feels entirely wrong to that unfortunate person, thus making them who they truly are rather than what is comfortable for the narrow (& often right wing Christian) views of some.
Well at least leave it to adulthood for them to choose.
None of this shit at the age of 11 giving them puberty blockers.
And in the US at least, the medical industry is promoting it because it brings them lots of $$$$, especially for the drugs that they have to stay on for the rest of their life.
While I definitely agree with regard to the American medical industry, I think the problem is that obliging them to endure puberty in what would be for them, entirely the wrong body isn't helpful. Perhaps in time some way can be found to manage things better, since this is a relatively new area for medicine.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
