WPATH proceeds to go out kicking and screaming, albeit in a distinct falsetto pitch 
I'm too busy (lazy) to do a real summary/writeup but for some good backstory see this post by @cyberdick :
https://rdrama.net/post/265508/sx-is-biological-fact-nhs-declares
Basically the former president of child medicine in the UK, Hilary Cass, did a formal paper dubbed the Cass review, showing exactly what has been repeatedly shown in every single review or study of giving kids hormones, which is that it literally does no good at most, and moreso can potentially do harm, violating not one but two core principles of medicine according to the Hippopotamus Oath. (source: me, I'm a nurse)
TLDR:
WPATH (World Amplifier for 
Hypocrisy) has FINALLY responded to the Cass review in a statement that literally amounts to "HILARY CASS ISNT A SPECIALIST OF BULLSHIT PSEUDOSCIENCE I MEAN TRANS MEDICINE! JUST BECAUSE SHE'S A BONEFIDE PHYSICIAN AND THE FORMER HEAD OF PEDIATRICS AND HAS WORKED WITH KIDS ALL HER LIFE DOESN'T MEAN SHE KNOWS HOW TRANS KIDS WORK REEEEEEEEEE"
And that's it lol. That's all the WPATH (men) basically has to say in retort after getting chaos dunked by one doctor (woman). No attacking the heart of the issue which is literally that the trans body of evidence is as real as a pooner peepee or a neovagene.
You love to see it.
jannys in full cope mode basically banning anyone who dares support the verboten science. In my own backyard as a long time activist in the skeptics movement against pseudoscience like chiropractic/acupuncture/homeopathy/naturopathy etc. it appears many people are being banned from the skepticism subreddit over this dilemma, myself included lol. This isn't too surprising sadly, because the skeptics movement was one of the first ones targeted by feminists actually in the early 2010's and then when that failed (see elevatorgate) and g*mergate got purchase, the "movement" was colonized by demasculinized soychugging ex-g*mergate nerds seeking revenge against their oppressors, the fourth-wave feminist foids, and they did so by using recycling foid logic against them by claiming their privilege as their own by ing out 
, (spoiler alert, it worked! lol)
In any case though it's pretty funny now because of the hypocrisy from the jannys has now come full circle, especially in the skeptics arena. They have fully exhausted the extent of their borrowed foid logic and now have defaulted to blatant shilling of bullshit under the banner of nonstop bitching about there being NO EVIDENCE OF HARM! for giving kids hormones... EXCEPT UH... NO HORMONS CAUSES MORE SUICIDES... ACCORDING TO MY FATHER'S, BROTHER FORMERLY SISTER'S, NEPHEW'S, COUSIN'S, FORMER ROOMATE blah blah blah..
quacktivists have been doing this for years now, as we know. However, now there is CLEAR body of science-based evidence of the harm, how do they respond?
"THE EVIDENCE IS BIASED ASDFKJHDSAKJFEYKHUIRFGSKDJHFGGIHKDSdsakfjhgsdfkjhg"
(a.k.a. magic is real etc. etc. and if you disagree you are banned lol)

This doctor is right, twitter being bought ended the biggest vector for trans Bullshit and career destruction and suddenly everything is nuanced again, except on Reddit

Note the whole premise of their argument is that any teenager in question is trans and that should be assumed because they say they are, and showed up at a trans clinic, and any risk is fine because other trans adults say they wish they had such a treatment (not even that they had it and it was successful, just that they didn't enjoy puberty and wish they had drugs).
The Bayesian shit WAS the whole modus operandi for the last decade which seemed reasonable when it was a hundred kids showing up and each one got attention. Then there were lines out the door and each kid was given prescriptions on the spot without any counselling or exploration of why they are there.
So the only solution is to dump money into it to deal with the influx, but if you're going to do that you need at least a minimum of evidence of the care you're about to dole out at large scale.
That's the missing context, it's a whole system that needs to be formalized eventually, not a localized least bad decision making process based on good vibes
