“In particular, the guideline seems to be constructed around the false assumption that in every child there is a ubiquitous and immutable gender identity that is completely independent of the biological sex, and with this identity being naturalistically predetermined. This is an unproven scientific assumption which ignores the fact that adolescents’ views of themselves are often self-interpretations, and a clear distinction between such self-interpretations and aspects of identity cannot be made with sufficient validity.”
This is the keystone that supports the entire trans house of cards. It is likely that most trans allies either understand and believe this canard or intuit it. It is imperative to investigate this theory scientifically and settle it conclusively for once and for all.
I submit that the notion of an immutable gender identity that exists independently from biological sex is an invention of postwar philosophy. It does not describe reality. It is meant to disrupt our understanding of sex and sex roles to create a culture that is without precedent in human history.
"stable “gender incongruence” and temporary “gender non-contentedness” in minors, but it doesn’t give any specific criteria on how to differentiate these two groups in advance—nor is it clear with what validity this actually could be done."
Exactly.
WPATH also actually requires for over 18 (appendix D) "Other possible causes of apparent gender incongruence have been identified and excluded;"...again, how?
And indeed, even if gender incongruence and its distress can be determined to be long lasting...why can't anyone show with a reliable study (moderate or high quality) that medical intervention is likely to improve this long term?

Thank you for this!
