Yes and no, respectively.
Ideally, sure, but that's not always possible and telling people that they're not allowed to be trans doesn't stop them from being trans, it only alienates them.
Yes, that's why some argue they should get psychological care not invasive and dangerous procedures.
Of course saying this publicly nowadays gets you censored or even worse, cancelled.
Those procedures ARE psychologically beneficial care and are mostly NOT dangerous, unlike whatever torturous conversion therapy equivalent you seem to have in mind.

Also, they can do whatever they want, doesn't change my opinion on what they're doing. Also would like to see those people to stop forcing these things on children/teens, specially trying to legalise gender change for those ages.
No is forcing this on them.

Sorry but what I know it has been happening is way beyond letting them know "it exists".
Its a matter that should be only a footnote on their sexual education books.
