Gender dysphoria is the medical condition, transition is the only evidence based treatment. If an alternative treatment would have let me to remain in my birth-assigned gender w/o gender dysphoria I'd have availed myself of it. I have no sentimental connection to my transness.

I understood other studies also showed many kids changing their minds. There's also the evidence around social contagion and also the link to autism in kids. In today's environment, I imagine clarifying studies that could be done are not because of political pressures.
While I welcome a discussion with anyone, this is my area of expertise as a journalist so I'm pretty confident in my data, and my opinions were heavily informed by that data.

When you say "there's evidence around social contagion" any data minded person is going to have to answer "No. There isn't".

There's the preliminary Brown study, which was suppressed (and I've seen other observational notes on linkage to autism), but we're not going to decide the issue over Twitter.
