@benjaminfranklin8412 I am athiest, I do not have any religious beliefs. Being transgender is supported by science, and this notion that it can be dismissed as a religion is simply absurd.
The earth is indeed not flat, the earth was indeed not created in six days, and male humans are indeed distinct from female humans. However, man and woman are social categories, and always have been, since cultures from around the world and throughout history have had multiple different genders. That is not a religion, friend, that is to do with how humans categorize the natural world.
You cannot simply dismiss any science you do not understand as religion. It will not get you very far in life. When you are presented with facts that shake the foundation of your worldview, you dig in your heels, declare it a religion, and walk away from the conversation. That's what's truly regressive.

@crispypudding Hi, I'm a registered Democrat. Abortion isn't murder.
There is plenty of evidence that medical transition is the best treatment for transgender people with gender dysphoria. It drastically decreases dysphoria, while increasing quality of life. It reduces all comorbid mental health issues across the board: anxiety, depression, low self esteem, etc.
Nobody is "castrating and mutilating" kids though. Puberty blockers do not castrate children, that's why we've been using them for decades on precocious puberty. And we do have that decades of evidence that they're safe. We've been using them to treat minors with gender dysphoria since the 90s.
Children of course cannot consent. However, their parents consent on their behalf for medical procedures all the time. When kids need an appendectomy, or braces, or any number of surgeries or medical procedures. It's often a tough decision, like putting a child on antipsychotics if they're showing symptoms of schizophrenia. Antipsychotics can have serious side effects, including sęxual dysfunction, but the medical experts weigh these against the benefits and ultimately have to make a decision in the best interest of the patient.
