Can you point out to me where severity of dysphoria is assessed in that study? Only seems to deal with diagnostic threshold.

What "Medical transition" procedures are performed on children that you object to?

Puberty blockers followed by T (given in early adolescence), mastectomies as early as 14. Now common in US, and promoted by gender MDs.

The studies we're looking at seem to be late adolescence studies, unfortunately. Puberty blockers & social transition alone are reversible

Steensma et al pioneered blockers. They did not give them to all their patients, only teens who had GD as children.
