In civilised countries, yes. And that is a good thing. Not having dysphoria does not mean that someone is not trans and this gatekeeping is a huge part of the problem,
Imo, it’s best to gatekeep it as hard as possible for teens and make it a choice for 18+. For mostly the same reasons as many other limitations for kids/teens. So, if you’re 14, you can only get HRT if you have seriously thoroughly medically proven gender dysphoria, but for 18+ you can just have it as a choice.
This literally doesn’t happen and is just fear mongering.
Okay, hope you’re right, I can’t really judge what’s going on in America since I’m from country where trans are extremely rare. It’s probably an impression formed by social media that in America trans is almost like a teen subculture.

Again, not transitioning is also a choice, a choice informed by ideology and forced upon the child. Anti-scientific bullshit.
Also, there are just as many trans people in your country as anywhere else. They are probably oppressed enough to not come out the closet.
