The treatments I'm familiar with, especially those that are assisted by prescription drugs, are quite new and unsupported. it's hard to find any studies of this stuff at all. the amount we know about efficacy here is shockingly low. if you have references, I'd welcome them.

If you want to read just one study, why not start with the last one? The Amsterdam Cohort consists of 6,793 people since 1972. That should be plenty to start with. If you want even more, I recommend reading the "Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People". Currently in its eighth edition, it describes the entire process, with hundreds of additional studies cited.

    Or it could be much lower, as Pfafflin, 1998, the 2015 USTS, Wiepjes, 2018, and Danker, 2019 all seemed to find.

      Wiepjes 2018 is the study I was referring to in my comment.

> The treatments I'm familiar with, especially those that are assisted by prescription drugs, are quite new and unsupported The treatments you are familiar with have been around since the thirties. Research on them started with the Institut fur Sexualwillenschaft, which has been since burned down, and hundreds of papers have been published on the topic since, dealing with thousands of patients all over the world, with their findings all being remarkably consistent. How hard have you actually looked into it?
