No one is denying that these adolescents are suffering from Gender Dysphoria, which is in the DSM manual, just that its onset was rapid, hence the acronym.
So WPATH acknowledges that this is poorly understood and needs more research, yet is confident that "gender-affirmative" care is the right approach?
That's what you get when the lead authority on GD is so heavily steered by "stakeholders"
Excellent for the issue to get so much coverage, light and air and scrutiny..
