Hmm. I guess the fact that they've wanted to be the other sex for years would make a homosexual transsexual person prone to sunk cost fallacy. It would require a massive shift in mindset, to accept: "the people who told me boys don't play with dolls are full of shit, and I've literally been lied to my entire life"

I'm sure that goes for all types of trans.

Another question with GID in HSTS is, what's different between the 80% who desist and the 20% who persist? More potential therapeutic options could be found in that difference.

Ah, if only we could do research on these topics openly!

Between sex research being taboo and activists raising a huge ruckus... we're doomed.
