I like saying "families" over "parents" because it's both more inclusive and registers that the trans kid themselves has agency in the care (while in practice parents are always involved). Also good to stress decisions about care are individualized; not about what's right for "a kid" but "this kid"

I like naming non-pathologized benefits trans kids get from this care. Less about decreasing depression/anxiety/suicidality; more about building friendships, healthier family relationships, more focus in school, more ambition, planning for their future. All of which is true!
