This is true. Helen Joyce is a journalist who does a good job of analyzing this phenomenon from a big picture perspective. I found these two points enlightening.
These are my summaries, not direct quotes.
Men with autogynephilia are the activists primarily driving the insistence on pronouns, entry to women-only spaces, and childhood transitioning. They need validation that they are women, which requires everyone else to participate in their view of reality. So they need to be able to function in society as women, which means going into women's spaces because they are "women." These are the people that also push the transitioning of children because they believe that they have always been a "woman in a man's body", even as a child. Since they have "established" that children can be transgender, they advocate for transitioning during childhood.
The saddest commentary is that parents who allowed or encouraged their children to transition will also continue to drive transitioning of children. If childhood transitioning is exposed as harmful (human rights abuse), they won't be able to live with knowing that they have irreversibly destroyed their children's lives and future, and their own as well. She says that this is also the reason why some organizations support transitioning children. If there is even a single person in an organization that has a transgender child, especially if they are high up in the hierarchy, no one feels that they can speak out in opposition to transitioning.
