A big initiative, yes. Don't discount the small percentage of our population like you appear to be doing in your post. The point is to integrate transgendered youth into society as efficiently as possible so they hopefully stop attempting suicide at a >50% rate.
The numbers are staggering. It's all annoying and simple to brush off if you have straight children (or even gay for that matter) but it becomes a living hell for parents who do have transgendered kids.
Could you imagine if there was more than a 50% chance that your daughter was going to attempt to take her life because of how she's treated by society?
