I remember in 2004? wishing I could do what this German girl was doing, as it was all over the global news. Sadly by the time it became politically/medically possible I was too busy working and surviving to even think about it.

I’m so glad trans kids today get to go through it earlier and are informed/supported. I now this one little kid since they were three and I’m so happy/envious.

Well, if by blind luck they have supportive parents, sure. My parents intentionally kept me ignorant of the existence of HRT/puberty blockers until my late teens (I didn't learn it from them, I mean)

Hateful families are the elephant in the room for queer youth. The defensive approach that dominates the discourse in the US (and so spreads to the rest of western countries) that is all but "let the parents and only the parents decide about their kids' care" sacrifices those of us with hateful and unsupportive families. Trans youth will never thrive as long as minors keep being considered their parents' property.
