Section 6.12 make the specifics quite clear?
The entire document is 260 page, with 24 pages dedicated to adolescents and 13 more to children. Each of the items listed in u/wishIwere's post is an entire section.
What a lot of people seem to be struggling with, most likely including OP, is that gender dysphoria is not a trivial physical ailment with a one-size-fits-all treatment. Forcing unwanted treatment on anyone, especially children, is completely unacceptable.
The standards of care focus on reducing harm and delaying permanent decisions, and making sure that the adolescent fully understands the impact of their decisions. Making them more specific than they currently are would lead to a worse outcome.
