How ironic can the "medical community" be regarding the subject of changing one's "gender identity"? They want to ban anyone talking to them about their gender identity and help them understand and work through confusion, yet they are quite willing to inject them with life-altering hormones and body-altering surgeries at ages when no one suggests that they are mature enough to fully understand the consequences. Counselling should not only not be banned, in some cases it should be required.
