Your post is so full of ignorance I don't know where to start. It takes at least couple of years of counseling before they have sex change operation.

That is an anecdote. I think I'll listen to psychiatrists and their studies.

Listen to psychologists on both side of the issue. Also do research on the possible complications of hormone therapy and look at the lifetime cost of the whole procedure to evaluate if it is worth it.
How much to psychologists treating these people make in the multiple appointments they get from them. They will do things to boost the business of people of their kind, people in their line of work like psychologists and therapists.

Another person who doesn't know what they're talking about.
Children with gender dysphoria are the ones doing all the pushing, and most parents resist as long as they can, because it's hard to accept. For those parents who refuse to accept, you usually have a dead kid on your hands, or at least multiple attempts.
Another thing, the kid would never even know that gender disphoria existed unless someone tells him/her.
