One of the beliefs proposed in many of these cases is that children who allegedly want to change their sex have a higher suicide rate than the total population. I wonder if that rate is higher or lower after "gender affirming care," especially for those whose view of gender may revert to favor gender at birth eventually.

In my unscientific opinion, the number of authentic cases is non-zero but extremely rare. In most alleged cases, I think that the medical professional should deny minor care that could result in any permanent damage. However, the legal case is about what the government can prohibit, even if medically indicated, or claimed to be indicated by a medical professional.
Perhaps the legal system cannot compensate for a malfunctioning medical system. Too many in the medical system have forgotten first do no harm. There is an abundance of medical care treating what insurance will pay for.
