The whole trans thing is a giant racket. When you chop someone's bits off you create a lifelong medical dependent who will need countless expensive operations, medial appointments and a lifetime of drugs, most of which paid for from the public purse. You also create a predictable voter who will keep ensuring the racket continues because they're now dependent on it. If you're wondering why the political elite is pushing it, this is why.
Targeting mentally ill adults can only get you so far, children are hardwired to be impressionable which makes them a lot easier to indoctrinate. Just as any abuser would, they will try to isolate children from their family so that they don't have anyone else to turn to. Most children will naturally grow out of their delusions with a bit of guidance, so their interest is to get them on the journey as early as possible. Even if they do grow out of it, it's too late, the bits are gone and the money is flowing.
Of course you have to bamboozle people with something, which is why you have the pseudo-science, socialism, social justice and other narratives to tug at the heart strings of emotionally hijacked idiots. Most of the zealots are mentally ill and broken, and there's something about having been abused that makes people extremely likely to want to abuse others themselves. Deviance and pedophilia all play a part, but these are just the henchmen. The end goal is money and power for the rich men north of Richmond.
Your child's just a cash crop to them.
