"Trans kids"? What does the research say?
1- When not given puberty blockers 88% of boys who identify as trans in childhood desist by the age of 20. Letting kids go through normal puberty resolves dysphoria. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2021.632784/full

2- These newly published results confirm previous findings. Most children desist passed puberty. Most of the desisting patients are homosexuals. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18981931/
3- The Dutch team that pioneered the use of puberty blockers (PB) for gender dysphoria is now urging caution. The demographic and quantity of young ppl seeking transition has dramatically changed and they simply don't know if treatment is adequate. https://twitter.com/will_malone/status/1366825810951213057
4- Recent evidences show that the affirmative approach is limited and unsatisfactory. A thorough approach, including therapy is needed, especially given the rate of comorbidities in GD patients. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-bulletin/article/freedom-to-think-the-need-for-thorough-assessment-and-treatment-of-gender-dysphoric-children/F4B7F5CAFC0D0BE9FF3C7886BA6E904B
5- The parallel made between thorough mental health evaluation and care for gender dysphoric patients and gay conversion therapy is wrong & dangerous. It is simply not the same thing. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-bulletin/article/sex-gender-and-gender-identity-a-reevaluation-of-the-evidence/76A3DC54F3BD91E8D631B93397698B1A#
6- "But they will commit suicide without PB!"
Emotional blackmail of this kind breaches guidelines re. Suicide ideation and does not rest on evidences.
Children with GD do not commit suicide at a greater rate than other kids with mental health issues. https://4thwavenow.com/tag/michael-biggs/

7- "But puberty blockers are reversible".
The data from the Tavistock show bone density stagnates in teens using PB while it should increase rapidly. There's no full recovery if stopped. All children on PB will move to cross sex hormones & lose fertility. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.01.20241653v1

8- Research papers reporting positive outcomes of physical transition have been withdrawn. It turns out the mental health of patients does not improve after sex reassignment. https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/health/2020/august/prestigious-psychiatry-journal-retracts-findings-admits-sex-reassignment-surgery-didnt-fix-mental-health?fbclid=IwAR20Ox-iwJQtuP3LrLX2gC7HsV2zPL9hZlmP6RuhbpYBI-J0Hn4zDD3nDDg
What are the scientific evidences underpinning diagnosis of GD?
There is no scientific evidences that males can have female brains and vice versa. There is no such thing as a female or male brain. https://theelectricagora.com/2020/06/02/on-sex-and-gender-identity-perspectives-from-biology-neuroscience-and-philosophy/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

10- Research shows an atypical pathway in the area of the brain dealing with body ownership. Such feature can be related to trauma. Nothing to do with gender. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-17352-8
11- children referred to gender clinics are not assessed for the existence of this atypical pathway but because they play with the wrong toys and like the wrong clothes for their sex, ie. do not conform to gender stereotypes making parents uncomfortable.
12- Practitioners who have left the tavistok clinic over concerns the kids were being fast tracked to irreversible treatments talk about widespread homophobia from the parents referring their kids. https://mobile.twitter.com/coccinellanovem/status/1309569662728929280
13- in summary:
Normal puberty resolves GD in most children.
Thorough mental health support rather than PB and sex reassignment (affirmation) is needed.
Atypical body perception does not mean the body should be changed to fit the brain.

14-
PB and sex reassignment have irreversible impacts and do not resolve dysphoria.
GD is not a sign that someone is in the wrong body, or is "of the other sex".
Homophobia and sexism are what drives most instances of GD in kids.
