Fourth option on your poll: Obama did this because, like every good elite American, he loves money (and attention and power, but primarily money in this case). Every American system, including the medical system and politics, is motivated by money. That's why you can't really trust any of them. They will sell you out for a shiny new penny (or a dull old penny, they don't care).

Irony: A small breasted woman wants bigger boobs. She can't get them because insurance won't pay for it. *But* a man can get the boobs she wanted and even taxpayer-subsidized insurance will pay for them. It's all cosmetic surgery, but somehow the man's surgery is necessary?

Look, I will reiterate this. It is true that gender has a psychological and social component, but it is based on sex, which is entirely biological. As much as I feel for those with gender dysphoria (and there are a few, though not nearly as many as try to take on the label), society alone has the right to decide how closely to tie gender to sex, not individuals, society. And society has not just a right but an obligation to balance the desires of large numbers of primarily men to cosmetically alter themselves to be women and enter women's spaces against the needs of women to feel safe in their own spaces and the needs of children to be protected from trends and predatory practices in the medical field.
