This has trans twitter blowing up and I find it very revealing www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/07/when-a-child-says-shes-trans/561749/.
This is an extremely balanced piece that takes on quite a bit of trans/gender identity dogma in how it approaches gender, but because the author is writing about the issues with the affirmation approach, in light of the many desisters and their testimonies re this approach, his piece is being attacked by TA's, a whole bunch of men, and Lena Dunham as 'dangerous'. It helps highlight how to promote trans dogma you have to completely ignore desisters and with that their humanity.
It's a long piece but I recommend taking the time to read it, maybe make a cuppa first...
