>Giving hormones to tweens for the sake of a rounding error of the population There are any number of medical disorders that affect only "a rounding error of the population". Medically-assisted transition with hormone treatment for gender dysphoria is the treatment option best supported by the evidence, although the quality of evidence is currently less than ideal. If you have found peer-reviewed research indicating that hormone treatment for GD does more harm than good, I'd be eager to see it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4977075/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4977075/

  Your entire comment is a non-sequitur. Your first link is about a conference organised by radical feminists, none of whom appear to be clinical researchers; your second is about a tenured researcher being briefly blocked from Twitter for expressing opinions rather than stating facts and your third is an apparently completely unrelated lecture by Slavoj Žižek. We have a whole bunch of observational studies on the effects of hormone treatment. There are a bunch more registered that we're waiting for results on. You haven't shown me any evidence suggesting that hormone treatment does more harm than good, nor any evidence that research is being suppressed.
