      9/*we HAVE some specific research on the long-term trajectories of kids who express that they have gender dysphoria at a young age*(!!!!). The single best study we have is this Steensma et al one from 2013. It, like every other study in this admittedly https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23702447

      11/probably an overestimate for kids with DSM-5 GD and that people shouldn't use it). These studies all suggest it is outright false to state that "children who are prepubertal and assert an identity of TGD know their gender as clearly and as consistently as [cis kids]," if by

      12/ "consistently" we mean that the identity will stick around in the long run (unclear what else it could mean in this context). Neither the Olson nor the Steensma study, of course, can definitively answer this question, but one study (Steensma) was designed to chip away at

      13/ it, and another (Olson's) wasn't, really. It's a complete no-brainer which one you'd pick if you were asked to evaluate this issue, and the Steensma study is famous among clinicians and researchers in this area. And yet the AAP document doesn't even reference it! This is

      14/ a striking example of how, as Cantor suggests, the document is slanted toward an approach that's outside the currently accepted scientific mainstream. Its only mention of the desistance literature is to sweepingly dismiss all of it, as part of a paragraph so riddled with

      15/ distortions of this area of research/clinical practice I could do a whole other tweetstorm on it. Seriously, it's astounding this paragraph was published by a respected medical organization. In fact, it's worrying to me that this *entire document* was published -- I thinkpic.twitter.com/wianDTG7Gv

      16/ it's a telling example of how much of a disaster this discussion has become. Parents, in particular, are utterly screwed right now -- there's a cacophony of conflicting information out there, with misinformation coming from all corners. It just sucks that the AAP has made
