If, as you yourself acknowledge, the concerns are real, why do you assume that the lawmakers who are promoting these laws are motivated by straight up bigotry and maliciousness?

I agree it's concerning if, say, you have someone aged 11-13 who abruptly starts having gender issues for a few months and dominant progressive attitudes (and possibly "cis privilege" guilt) pressure the parents to shop around for a clinic that will fast track hormone replacement. The main problem is that gender clinics in many areas are a "wild west" of inconsistent philosophies and practices, so the solution is effective regulation and professional guidelines rather than panic-oriented bills supported by conservative politicians.
