If medical practice already draws the line in the same place — no hormone treatment before puberty — then why object to the law? Or you can put the question the other way: Why pass the law?
1. There is symbolism — messaging — in passing the law and in refraining from passing the law. Politicians might want to express opposition to/support for transgender people.
2. There is trust/mistrust in the medical profession. Do you believe they'll determine the best treatments and restrain themselves from going too far, or do you think they need a legal line? The AMA position is that the law a "dangerous intrusion into the practice of medicine."
3. Regardless of what the medical profession decides is ethical, there are always unethical practitioners, and you need a law if you want the government to impose consequences. If no one ever violates the law, it may be because the law deterred them (and not merely that every single practitioner hewed to the ethics).
4. How strong is the evidence that no practitioners give hormone blockers to prepubescent children? Advocates make assertions, but how do they know? The article quotes 2 advocates, but each only said that he's not aware of any practitioner who gives this treatment.

What is the objection to a law against something that we're told no one is doing anyway?
Because the fraud and radical trans activist Dr. (!) Rachel Levine (Biden's Assistant Secretary for Health), when asked pointedly and specifically by Rand Paul if she would rule out giving hormones (or surgery) to under-age children, would not answer the question.
At the end of the clip, being the 'Washington Post,' they add a comment from Patty Murray impugning Dr. Rand Paul's motives. He was asking about what the policy of the administration would be, as Levine would be in a position of power to influence such decisions. A completely in-bounds and relevant question.
It is NOT 'trans-phobic' to question the advocacy for mutilating minor children.
That's why it's a big fucking deal, as Joe would say.
