Transitioning isn't "coddling" a mental illness. The prescribed and most effective treatment for it, according to ACTUAL psychologists and other scientists, is to transition.
And the studies to prove the efficacy of the treatment are not there
Treatment options for gender dysphoria include counseling, cross-sex hormones, puberty suppression and gender reassignment surgery. Some adults may have a strong desire to be of a different gender and to be treated as a different gender without seeking medical treatment or altering their body. They may only want support to feel comfortable in their gender identity. Others may want more extensive treatment including hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery leading to a transition to the opposite sex. Some may choose hormone treatment or surgery alone.
A new analysis conducted by researchers at the What We Know Project (WWKP), an initiative of Cornell University’s Center for the Study of Inequality (CSI), reviewed more than 25 years of scholarship on transgender mental health and found a strong consensus that undergoing gender transition can improve the well-being of transgender people.

so the kids in that study lied? can you prove that? or do we have to just trust your logical fallacy?
If you look at the rates before and after transition you'll see that they have gone down.
Female to male adolescents reported the highest rate of attempted suicide (50.8%), followed by adolescents who identified as not exclusively male or female (41.8%), male to female adolescents (29.9%), questioning adolescents (27.9%), female adolescents (17.6%), and male adolescents (9.8%). I

Where did I say they lied? I agree. Having dysphoria causes depression which leads to suicide. Treatment allievates that depression, but it certainly doesn't make it go away completely if society piles on nonsense about how they really aren't a woman or a man (in the case of ftm).
I said you are misrepresenting the statistics because you are looking at them in a vacuum and assuming that trans people continue to suicide themselves after transitioning due to their dysphoria, yet that particular link is never pointed out by the Human Rights Campaign. You inserted that leap of logic on your own.
FYI: as a donator to HRC myself, I know full well that they fully support transitioning for trans people and actively fight for our rights. So using their own statistics to argue an opposite stance of HRC's is misusing their statistics for your own end.

"Consensus" = weasel word.
A researcher in Britain, James Caspian of Bath University, had approval for a study on de-transitioning later pulled due to pressure from Trans Activists.
A doctor in Europe has tried to speak up about the increasing numbers coming to him to REVERSE their sex reassignment surgery, and has been silenced by Trans Activists.
There's more here: Trans Activists’ Campaign Against ‘TERFs’ has Become an Attack on Science
Oh! And "gaslighting": Twisting and twerking the facts and the truth to convince someone else that they] are the crazy stupid ones... so in this case, "everyone knows that a trans woman's penis is biologically female. You're the crazy stupid one for not knowing that..."
And as long as those trans "women" are using their "laydee dicks" to threaten women, THEY are proving there is nothing female about their dick.
