Gender Dysphoria is definitely real and transitioning has made life a whole lot more bearable for many, many people. That's not to say that self-diagnoses of Gender Dysphoria should be taken at face value, or that it's always in the best interest to send a young person down the path of transitioning, but at the same time there is a population for which transitioning can greatly improve quality of life.

It genuinely does not improve their quality of life at all. That ‘post-transition’ bliss fades fast then they’re faced with a brutal reality. Honestly, if society DID care about their well-being, it wouldn't allow puberty blockers, hormones, or surgeries.

  >Honestly, if society DID care about their well-being, it wouldn't allow puberty blockers, hormones, or surgeries. Let's say you're correct about even 90% of cases (I don't think it would be quite this high, but let's just assume). What then about the 10% where transitioning really helps them deal with life? Do we just make their life miserable? To be honest with you, I wouldn't suspect if this is where we end up in 20 years' time when the pendulum swings the other way, but either way it's not an ideal situation.
