When people say this they mean that children don't have the mental capacity to make that life changing decision. Again - kids believe in santa clause, the easter bunny, and the tooth fairy. They are extremely easily influenced and will believe what their parents tell them to a fault. If you tell a kid they're trans because they like the colour pink as a boy or blue as a girl, they're gonna believe you. That is the indoctrination people are talking about.
Are there kids that actually have gender dysphoria? Sure. They're the extreme minority of the kids that are currently trans though, because they don't even understand gender let alone "gender identity". Even teenagers aren't mentally developed enough to be making life altering decisions, which is why we don't let under 18 year olds get tattoos, drink, vote, etc. If you accept that these restrictions need to be in place for children, how can you be ok with giving them life altering drugs and surgeries?
Sigh....there's the usual "transphobic" type dismissal/attack used to try and stop any and all discussion of differing viewpoints.
I can deal with LGBT people, I have no issues with them at all as I've said many times. I've explained why I don't, and what I do have problems with. Ironic that you say "We frankly don’t need you." because if that were true you wouldn't be constantly trying to force your beliefs on me.
