What is really needed is long-term followup of a very large group of trans-identified people, throughout their lives, and including detransitioners. Right now we can't know how many trans-identified people do detransition, and we also can't know whether those detransitioners remain happy with their birth sex-aligned gender (and we won't be able to know that for a long time). Only a full life cycle a bit like the "seven-up" research is going to produce really useful data.
