There is no benefit from this, other than buying votes from right-wing loonies.

Realistically, this is going to kill a lot of queer kids. There will be an age gap between the trans youth over 16 today, and the ones that come up after this is repealed -- Not because they were somehow "converted" but simply because a lot of them won't live to adulthood because the prospect of living through their teens in the wrong skin, with the wrong name, and wearing the wrong clothes is that torturous. This will kill kids.

It is a program of genocide. Not necessarily specifically coordinated in this case, but mostly Christian nationalist groups, mostly based in the USA, have been deliberately spreading it for years.
