During puberty multiple physical changes take place as well as chemical changes in the brain.. it is during this period if left alone most dysphoric kids will come to terms with their sexuality, many realising they are lesbian or gay.. not trans/2

I'm sorry but I'm familiar with the quality of evidence on this website. Its consistentlu poor quality is, in part, what led me to give up my denial and decide to transition as someone who was once quite sympathetic to so-called "gender critical" ideas.

Sure Evan, sure. Funnily enough, the evidence of TT shows the same as the Tavistock study showed once they finally released it, 5 years late. Their evidence was also deemed of high enough quality that they were accepted as an intervenor in the JR, unlike Mermaids & Stonewall.

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.

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.
