Republicans have no humanity.

You mean recent action to correct misinformation about what determines male and female beings being taught to children 3-8?

No, he doesn't mean that at all.

Wait, so the kids that were groomed in to getting their genitalia stuck in a blender at age 13 by their teachers and a bunch a creeps running the media are more likely to commit suicide because of it?

Who saw that coming...

These kids are victims all right. Victims of a system that persists in instilling in them a hate for their own bodies. No wonder they feel like engaging in self harm.

No, no, no. Try reading it again, closely. Stop bringing up your imaginary boogeymen because it says exactly what is causing them mental distress.

It wouldn't be a problem if they weren't trans.

How do you stop someone from being trans?

By encouraging them to be satisfied and valid in the body they were born with, instead of pressuring and coercing them into an unnatural, unhealthy, sucky-as-heck situation that is totally avoidable. Schools and the media are pushing this agenda that is encouraging kids to ruin their own lives with gender nonsense. Stoping them form doing this would be a great start.

People need love and encouragement, not sex change surgery.

If you try to encourage them to be satisfied with the gender they were assigned at birth, they are not going to feel any better. That is going to feel invalidating. They aren't being groomed into becoming transgender, and knowing what transgenderism is does not automatically turn someone into a transgender individual. Your sexuality and identity don't just change like that.

I'm also not sure why you suggest transitioning is unhealthy, when being respected for their transgender identity improves mental health and reduces suicide risk drastically, and gender reassignment surgery is also associated with greater mental health benefits.

Again, the sucky situation for them is they are not being treated respectfully or equally. There are hundreds of pieces of legislation around the country threatening their way of life, from denying them healthcare as a minor, prohibiting participation in sports, prohibiting using the bathroom that matches their identity, banning discussion of their identity in schools and even attempts to investigate their parents for child abuse in Texas. This doesn't include the violence and harassment transgender people face, the income disparity and their overrepresentation in arrests.

The way to love your transgender loved one is to respect their identity, call them by their preferred name and use their preferred pronouns. They probably won't associate with you if you insist that they were groomed or are unnatural and need to change who they are.
