So I see this all as confusion caused by her mental state and not real but it is very hard to deal with even as a distant parent. Thankfully he/she/they does not get triggered when I get it wrong

NHS England agrees with you. GPs are no longer allowed to refer cases they believe may be gender dysphoria directly to gender clinics. From now on they have to refer to CAMHS first for appropriate mental health assessment. The only serious study so far done on this suggested a high correlation between apparent gender dysphoria and neurodivergence such as ASD (autistic spectrum disorder).
I believe one of the medical scandals of our time, when the history of this time is written, will turn out to be the way we allowed clinicians to sterilise and perform plastic surgery on physically healthy children when what they actually needed was appropriate mental health care.
