You're already pushing for your viewpoint to be forced on kids.

Yes. Absolutely. People should respect and accept other people, and I will push that viewpoint onto kids, adults, and everyone in between.

Some people don't believe that transgenders should even be acknowledged as the gender they transitioned to

And they're not being respectful or accepting. Whatever your beliefs, the fact of the matter is that there's a person right in front of you who's going to feel a whole lot more comfortable if you accept the identity they've adopted than if you don't, and whose identity can be accepted without any sort of negative consequence for you. As such, the decent thing to do is to accept them, and I will absolutely criticize anyone that says otherwise.

Is transitioning the gold standard for treating gender dysphoria? I don't know. Nobody knows yet, because science is slow. But until science figures it out, all laypeople can do is accept the current best known option. Anything else just makes everyone involved miserable, and keeps science from doing its job.
