I asked above- possibly was asking someone else- what makes you think that this means puberty blockers "cause" gender transition (in GD children only), rather than the more likely hypothesis that blockers are used rarely, in cases of children who are highly likely to be trans?
We know blockers don't cause gender transition because they don't cause it in precocious puberty. So your belief is: It's more likely that something about the blockers causes it in GD children than that the kids getting blockers are about 98% likely to be trans.

That seems, to put it mildly, highly unlikely. But you don't have anything to support it, pointing to the numbers themselves as if they make your case more strongly than the complete opposite which is more logical and more likely.

Sorry, you're right I should have addressed this. This ignores the fact that desistence rates have been steadily decreasing as the criteria for gender dysphoria diagnoses have been refined through experiences with these patients.
