Yes gender dysphoria can hit before puberty. What's wrong with addressing that?

Nothing, if its a life or death necessity, by all means address that more aggressively.  What's wrong with continuing to also address it as the fairly simple growing pain it is?   

So what? The teen in the article you linked to had been experiencing gender dysphoria from a young age and had engaged in self-harm and suicidal behaviours. Lots do: if you don't let them pursue treatment (which could include puberty blockers or in some cases hormone treatments conducted under the guidance of medial professionals) you'll see a lot of dead kids..

You don't know that we'll see lots of dead kids. That's fear mongering. As for suicidal intervention psychiatric help seems more focused and likely to prevent suicides than hormone therapy, changes to one's physique or making it a constitutional issue. 

Or awareness of trans issues and the ability to seek treatment for dysphoria helps kids make sense of their natural confusion.

Again, trans issues are issues an in the domain of adults who have made the transition to a different gender. It seems like you're trying to address the issue of confused kids by conflating their growing pains with the social and political consequences that transitioned grown adults have to deal with like bathrooms, sports and waxing.  These have **** all to do with growing pains of kids, they're the politics of adults.

I think the adult desire/push whatever you want to call it to drag gender dysphoria of confused kids into it is perhaps explained by a need to acquire allies in a admittedly hostile and all to often deliberately insensitive world.  Weaponizing kids is not the answer.
