Why are conservatives obsessed with gender transition surgery for minors when it's an insignificant issue?

There are about 40 million adolescents in the U.S. Here’s what they deal with:

Anxiety: 12,000,000 (30%)

Obesity: 6,800,000 (17%)

Sexually Victimized: 6,400,000 (16%)

Severe Major Depression: 6,000,000 (15%)

Living in Poverty: 5,200,000 (13%)

Substance Abuse: 2,000,000 (5%)

Suicide: 5,000/yr (.01%)

Cancer Diagnosis: 5500 (.013%)

Killed by Firearms: 5000 (.01%)

Incarcerated: 2500 (.006%)

Have Gender Transition Surgery: 300 (.00075%)

But please, explain how conservatives care so much about children that they focus on the issue that affects the smallest number of them.

Also there's a basic contradiction here.

The push to ban puberty blockers, hormonal treatment and whatnot until teens are fully adult will INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SURGERIES PEOPLE GET

It's almost like this isn't about minors at all and instead just about trying to eliminate trans people without claiming that their goal.
