Sounds like you should read the studies that I linked.I'm not going to because the "science is settled" on the gender dysphoria and it has been for decades. Of course, these days, they serve you the evolving science that shows, conclusively, that amputating breasts off teenaged girls, using puberty blockers on prepubescent boys, and building vaginas between boys' legs is "gender affirming " care. Sounds like a study I should read.
No surgery is being done on persons under 18 for one thing. So you're wrong on that. But you know that already. You're just trolling.
The links I posted show:
1. That with young children, many of them pass through a phase of gender dysphoria but then emerge and become cis gay persons in adolescence.
2. That adolescents with gender dysphoria rarely pass through the phase. At that point, the gender dysphoria is a permanent condition.
3. That the theory of "social contagion" is discredited bullshit. You don't "groom" someone into having gender dysphoria.
4. That extreme right "Jesus" political funders and action groups emphasize point #1, but do not agree with points #2 or #3. Their PoV is that gender dysphoria is a phase caused by social contagion and that all trans related medical care must be suppressed because "Jesus" and "protect the children".
5. That deep red states utilize discredited minority doctors to push point #4 in order to legitimize anti trans legislation, as they legitimized anti vaxx legislation.
6. That deep red states utilize points #4 and #5 in order to legislate severely repressive measures against the trans community in general.
