This is why it's important to get a correct diagnosis before starting HRT.

Which is why people get prescribed puberty blockers as an interim solution: A solution not without its side-effects, but at least it keeps people alive.

They're getting it right in the vast majority of cases though. The proportion of people that want to de-transition is in the vicinity of 1%, and it looks to me like it's broadly improving with time.

I'm not sure gender identity theory is ever the correct path. It's highly questionable.

Puberty blockers and HRT both cause irreversible changes. It's not theoretical or academic, the people of r/detrans are living proof of it.

You should read r/detrans, that doesn't seem to be the case.

The validity of the Dutch study is questionable. That's what you're basing most of your assumptions on, and with faulty information, you're coming to faulty conclusions. Garbage in, garbage out. You should read r/detrans, you may find it eye opening. Plenty of tales of people complaining of being brainwashed by the internet, misled by professionals and trans advocates, and pushed and rushed through gender transition. And they find the so called reversible steps don't end up being so reversible.

Gender identity theory would exclude HRT and any kind of biological intervention, because it posits that gender is purely a social construct. They're already calling people transphobic literally for transitioning.
