That couldn't be further from the truth as possible.

It is the right constantly saying they should be 100% banned, with the other side wants more nuance in the discussion.

You'll sure find some wackos with this position to use as a strawman, but that's definitely not "the left". I'm left, and I don't know anyone saying it.

TL;DR: You're projecting.

"Access to drugs and procedures" doesn't mean free unrestricted access to "all kids". This is not candy being sold in the supermarket to kids. This all goes trough parents, psychiatrists and other physicians and the healthcare system.
