Some people are of the opinion that a medical transition might be right for some people. That raises questions: How do we know? How do we know which people? How do we avoid errors? What is the measure by which we determine whether it is right or not?
First thing that needs to go is immediate/unquestioning affirmation. Second, any seeking transition should receive years of therapy prior to being considered for hormones, and their other issues (if present) should be treated. Also, alternative treatments must be looked into.

Yes. But what alternative treatments ? They need to be made available.

I'm not sure, that's why I said they must be looked into. Some detransitioners have said counselling focused on exactly what parts of themselves they struggled with helped. For me, it was working through past trauma. I'm sure if they looked, the professionals could find more.

Do you know anything about data about the distinction between rapid onset dysphoria and dysphoria already experienced/shown in early childhood?
