There are several conditions that can cause gender dysphoria, including Klinefelters, Jacob’s, Kallman’s, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, hyperthyroidism, and hyperandrogenism. They are typically defects of the endocrine system.
Not everyone affected by these conditions will develop gender dysphoria. In many cases, if the underlying issue is addressed, the gender dysphoria will cease.
To show you how badly the medical system is messed up now, boys with Klinefelters and GD in the past were given testosterone. For the majority, 80% saw relief. Under the current “affirmation” approach, they would be pushed to transition, instead.
Dr. Kenneth Zucker, one of the world’s leading experts in sexual disorders, got run out of his own clinic (only to be vindicated) by a pack of liars because he pushed back on the insanity.

I do not think that today, in the political agenda that has entered health care, that most kids said to be esperiencing gender dysphoria are (a) even tested for the conditions you noted and (b) that if they were tested most would be found to not have those conditions, just as most with those conditions do not develop gender dysphoria.
Gender dysphoria is a mental condition regardless of the sociologocal or physical conditions that might possibly incite the mind/feelings to develop the obsession. The mind has encountered something, that has set it adrift into the gender dysphoria obsession. Nothing, physical or otherwise, predicates that obsession to be irreversible. Regardless, yes, sympathy and compassion is due to the child; and the bilogical-gender affirming mental health care they need.
