I think gender affirming care for minors has more support than trans participation in sports, for example.
EDIT:
In 2023 69% of Americans believed trans people should only be able to play on the team of the gender they were assigned at birth, according to this Gallup poll.
In 2024 62% of Americans oppose banning gender affirming care for minors in this Gallup poll.
EDIT2:
It’s also a little weird to call gender affirming care for minors a part of a “trans rights movement” when it’s primarily supported by the medical organizations. Of course the trans rights movement wishes to oppose anti-trans legislation, but gender affirming care for minors is not a fringe, controversial practice being pushed primarily by trans rights activists.
The evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of providing gender affirming care, and the only “controversy” comes from objections pushed by anti-trans activists who lie, make bad faith arguments, and appeal to pseudo-science and debunked theories to advance their cause.

Here is a list of the links to statements by the medical organizations supporting gender affirming care, which includes the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, the American Psychological Association, etc.
