The scientific consensus on the causes and treatments of transgenderism are well known and settled just as much as the round Earth, the big bang, evolution, or a myriad of other things that superstitious people argue against. As any science creator on Youtube who spends time debunking flat earth conspiracies, or the great flood will know no amount of evidence will convince some people. So what I have here is a compilation of what is the most important recent evidence on these issues. This article merely summarizes the findings and places them in a political context.
Researchers Found Puberty Blockers And Hormones Didn’t Improve Trans Kids’ Mental Health At Their Clinic. Then They Published A Study Claiming The Opposite. (Updated)
You might also consider these other limitations to the studies done:
* Comparison is done of cross-sex hormone therapy vs. no hormones. Yet why vs. sex appropriate hormones (I.e., gender dysphoric boys given testosterone, girls given estrogen) -- or perhaps other psychoactive drugs.
* Children and teens often "grow out of it" -- which points to perhaps a different cause.
* Puberty is often associated with the emergence of mental illness; if you give teens puberty blockers it's perhaps no surprise mental health improves.
* Patients who detransition represent a profound failure of appropriate diagnosis.
* The fast proliferation of clinics is resulting in more wrong diagnosis; they are money making ventures
