MODERATORS
I think I can confidently say that every single modern procedure in the umbrella of "gender-affirming care" was developed for use on non-trans people. Most of them, for cis people, or for intersex people in order to make them present cis according to their assigned-at-birth gender.
And it isn't HRT that is the most common medical gender-affirming care. It's breast augmentation. Which regularly gets done to cis women as young as 16.
When you ban these procedures ONLY for trans kids, you are 100% banning the procedure on the basis of sex. It's without question a violation of US law.
