99% of children don't "develop" a gender identity, they're born with one. Children display early gender-stereotypical behaviour without any prompting whatsoever.
Please show data confirming that social transition has no power to cause iatrogenic persistence in trans-ID'ed children. Given the stakes (later irreversible drug & surgical treatments, which typically result in permanent sterility), such data is vital to avoid "false positives."

And for that matter, also show the data confirming that pubertal blockade never iatrogenically cause persistence of trans identity. Obviously, such data is nonexistent, so the next question is: How many future regretters are acceptable collateral damage, in your view?

In that particular study, the investigators report that children as young as 13 were administered cross sex hormones. You may consider that good practice. Others differ.

This is not a zero sum/black and white game here. I believe you are the one "gaslighting" here.

Who said it was zero sum? I asked a simple question. How is that "gaslighting"? "Affirmative" practice, in my view, does not adequately take care to prevent future regret. Perhaps Dr James Cantor is a source you'd respect? http://www.sexologytoday.org/2018/10/american-academy-of-pediatrics-policy.html …
