There's all kinds of research on these sorts of things, but hypothesis bias taints much of it. There's a very big problem with people who bought in and believed they were trans, only to realize later that it was all a huge mistake. There are others who live quite happily fully transitioned. And without a doubt, there's a whole ton of trans-trenders. Some parents see their 4 year old boy doing "girly things" and immediately jump to the conclusion that their child is trans. Many parents (especially celebrities) push transgender identity on their children because it gives said parents something to virtue signal about. Some teens and young adults who would have lived their lives as their biological gender are swept up in the PC pro-trans culture.
There has been a rather massive increase of people with gender dysphoria. It hearkens back to The Three Faces of Eve and multiple personality disorder. Prior to that movie, multiple personality disorder was almost nonexistent. After that movie, suddenly you were seeing it everywhere. Clearly, psychological suggestion had a lot to do with that fact.
The questions that are rarely discussed:
Are transgenders better served by transitioning, when suicide rates are often higher after they transition?
How many of those claiming to be transgender are just being swept up in the cultural zeitgeist?
You obviously didn't look at the link, and probably haven't looked at any of this at all.
Were not talking about differences in questions and answers to researcher's questions, we're talking differences that show up in MRI scans of the brain.
Yet you act like your qualified to claim posts or statements you don’t agree with as irrelevant. I doubt that just because you can find a link that you agree with doesn’t mean it’s evidence.
When I state that a post is irrelevant, I state in my reply why it is irrelevant.
The only people who wouldn't be able understand my points re the irrelevance are people who don't know how to/who can't read. It doesn't take an MA or MS or greater to read and understand logical points.
And you're still deflecting....you still haven't provided any evidence re your child abuse assertion.

What do the "MRI scans of brains" say about people who think they are unicorns?
