The number of kids with gender confusion is growing exponentially and a huge portion of those kids are will eventually kill themselves, looking at the statistics, tens of thousands of kids have been set up to kill themselves due to the propagation of gender theory.

That's a pretty gross interpretation of what was written about Money. I would not agree that the study of gender identity was founded or developed by Money any more than Jordan Peterson founded or developed clinical psychology. Both would be considered practitioners and applying their unique perspective to their field of study. Neither would really be attributed as adding much to the theoretical underpinnings to the school.
I might suggest reviewing Kohlberg's Cognitive Developmental Theory of Gender (not to be confused with Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory), Bem's Gender Schema Theory, or Spence's Multifactional Gender Identity theory. Accepted theory by this school seems to suggest they have presented the most broadly accepted work on this topic.
All too often I think people are conflating sex with gender when discussing this matter. Sex is determined by physical traits while gender is determined by societal norms and the acceptance of projected gender characteristics. It would seem that you're taking your thoughts of gender and projecting them on others and enforcing gender conformity to your liking rather than acknowledging gender is fluid and not aligned with your thoughts or feelings on the matter. You could argue that gender dysphoria (the mismatch between gender identity and assigned sex at birth) has gotten out of control, but this is actually society evolving to be more accepting of the various gender associations. Because gender is created by culture this acceptance is part of the never-ending evolution we see in our society, right or wrong.
Gender Identity has been around for as long as humans have existed, only our cultural norms have changed making those who vary from the binary seem strange. It is those cultural norms that have been dangerous as the intolerance so prevalent in our societies makes people who are different feel rejected. It is that rejection that leads to the suicide issue you appear to be concerned about. If you really are so concerned about people with gender dysphoria committing suicide then maybe be a little more accepting of them and how they choose to present themselves?
