There isn't a single profession that is independent of political pressure. Doctors have faced criticism for decades for overprescribing drugs from opioids to Ritalin. Nutritional science has flipped several times in my lifetime alone, from fats to carbs to calories and back again. At least with nutrition, we are talking about yo-yo dieting. Here were are talking about irreversible surgery that can have a devastating mental effect on patients if done in error. I don't care if someone wants to lop off their genitals, but we should tread with caution and ensure there is a suitable amount of red tape to allow time for a rational (or as rational as possible) decision to be made. Waiting until your prefrontal cortex develops goes without saying.
Yes, there is political pressure, and the bulk of political pressure being put in doctors right now is from anti-trans groups. You are doing the exact crap your camp did with gay marriage, and climate change, and basically every other issue. The bulk of evidence at this point shows transition leads to better outcomes so you have to rely on crap conspiracies about evil leftists putting pressure on doctors.
If you actually cared about the well being of children you would follow the evidence. Instead you are feigning concern as a cover for your religious oppression.
