It's not more lax at all. The old criteria had more focus on gender roles, the newer criteria has more to do with understanding oneself as a member of the other sex. Surely you'd agree that gender roles, clothing, etc aren't essential to a person's identity.

I mean, now we're getting into boredom/irrelevant territory. I had symptoms that were resolved by changing my hormone balance and appearance to that of the opposite sex. Legally changing the documents to match that appearance is just pragmatism.

I think I've been very patient with you. Since you're not going to be responding further, a last point: there's still no evidence for any epidemic of cisgender youth being inappropriately treated for gender dysphoria.

You may "feel" there is such an epidemic, and feel it strongly. It may make you feel afraid, angry, etc. But I deal in evidence.

That doesn't bear on whether, once referred, there's a large percentage being improperly diagnosed or erroneously treated. 1. Larger number referred Doesn't answer: 2. Diagnoses- right or wrong? If wrong, still doesn't answer" 3. Treatment- effective or harmful?

There's nothing about a 300% increase in referrals that supports ROGD, because there's a more plausible expanations: awareness of GD and greater access to treatment results in more people getting needed care. You need evidence the referrals are erroneous & causing harm.
