Children are not given any medical intervention at 3 or 5 years.
Hormone blockers may be given during the earliest stages of puberty. Hormone blockers have been used for many years as treatment for early on-set puberty, so they aren't new.
We can, upon posthumous examination of brains, tell when somebody's neurological gender didn't match their external genitalia

You have a source for that? Please don't waste my time with one full of "maybe's" "might be's", one that involved a sample size of a few of dozen, or one that determines "neurological gender" based some variant of a mean rather than across the full spectrum, or that doesn't rule out other potential causes/reasons for the observed mismatch.
I'll be waiting.

If you really can't understand how teaching kids about gender and sexuality when they can't even comprehend or understand their own, can end up confusing them...

It isn't just the child's decision. There are multiple adults involved, including the parents, therapists, medical doctors, etc.

The suicide rate goes down post-op, but it's still higher than it should be. Why? Because of lovely folks like yourself.
Or, because it's a mental disorder and indulging the patients delusions to the point of surgically mutilating them isn't the correct/best course of treatment
Most transgenders do not have surgery.
And NO - - it is not a mental disorder. Unless you consider the brain telling you your gender a mental disorder.

. . . these kids would never even consider this crap unless it was brought up first.
You're wrong.
Just like many kids knew at an early age they were gay - - so do transgender kids know their brain gender does not match their physical body.
Sexuality understanding begins around age 3. Look it up.

Hello, I just wanted to share this info with you all:
“Rates of suicide are twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBTQ – affirming countries. What compassionate and reasonable person would condemn young children to this fate knowing that after puberty as many as 88% of girls and 98% of boys will eventually accept reality and achieve a state of mental and physical health?”
