I did read the summary from the HRC (the largest LGBTQ lobbying group in the US, btw). I also decided to bypass another summary to read the text of the bill, which explicitly bans social transition by disallowing:

(1) Enabling a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex; or (2) Treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity.

What am I missing here?

HB1 text: https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/113/Bill/SB0001.pdf

You're reading (1) without the context of (a).

(a) A healthcare provider shall not perform or offer to perform on a minor, or administer or offer to administer to a minor, a medical procedure if the performance or administration of the procedure is for the purpose of:

    (1) Enabling a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex; or

    (2) Treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity.

One of the first medical procedures is social transitioning, which does not involve medicine or surgery.

How about you stop being an apologist for trans genocide? Try that.

You are missing that clothing and names have really nothing to do with gender outside of society imposed social concepts and that children should be allowed to grow up in the bodies they were born in and not made to feel alienated from their own selves to the point of self mutilation.
