This is what happens when you try to feed someone meat when they are only able to accept milk. You're trying to stuff a 24 ounce porterhouse down a baby's mouth, when what they need is a few ounces of warm milk from a bottle.

We need to take the example of the Lord Jesus. He was very hard on the religious people who had their stuff together, but he was very gentle on "the sinners". He didn't get in the woman at the well's face and scream scripture at her - he offered her free living water. The woman's main problem was not that she was a sinner (although that was a problem) - the main problem was that she was dehydrated - she had zero living water.

People with "gender dysphoria" are not just confused, they are dehydrated. They have separated themselves from the natural order that God has put in place, and thus they have removed themselves from any place where they might receive the living water. They are trying to drink from a broken cistern - mankind has been broken since the fall - and there is no possibility to receive the living water as long as they are in the wrong place. They need to be shown that they are in need of the living water.
