No, I am saying "It's ok, we'll just have 100% accuracy", which was your counterargument, is entirely insane.

Also it makes no sense to me that you're saying such assessments will enable parents to keep traumatizing their children, when the entire point is to try to get everyone the appropriate treatment they need, whether for dysphoria or for actual trauma.

A lot of things have points that they don't live up to.

Okay then isn't the point of transition to make trans people's lives better? Does the existence of detrans people make transition fall under the category of "a lot of things" that don't live up to their point then? No? Then how about we try to improve accuracy for everyone?

Replying to @Alephwyr @B612Tipsy and
Transition does not entirely live up to its point for everyone. You can say that the availability of transition increases the number of detransitions in the same way you can say the disqualifying nature of abuse tends to increase abuse.

I don't really understand how disqualification based on abuse leads to more abuse as opposed to transitioning? There should be better pipelines to therapy/cps/what have you ideally I'd what I'm saying, but I don't see how transitioning would... stop abuse?

Transitioning wouldn't stop abuse. Look, the incentive structure is this: 1. If my child says they were abused, they can't do thing I don't want them to 2. I can abuse my child to prevent them from doing thing I don't want them to 3. I will abuse my child

And yeah, we'd need longitudinal studies, but it seems to me like it'd be a good thing for counseling to be a first step for abused individuals before they took further steps towards transitioning?

I honestly oppose any attempt to take discretion away from the professionals and put it in the hands of untrained lawmakers. Counselling may be a good first step. I am not sure that it doesn't happen now however.

This is a case where: 1. Credentialism and legal requirements for credentials limit the scope of the market, preventing more effective calibration of care 2. The professionals are still probably better than the lawmakers
