I'm not sure gender identity theory is ever the correct path. It's highly questionable.
It's an empirical science. You get the best psychological outcomes if you allow trans people to live as the gender of the brain.
Puberty blockers and HRT both cause irreversible changes.
It's certainly less than perfect. But it's not as irreversible as gender reassignment surgery, nor as puberty itself.
You should read r/detrans, that doesn't seem to be the case.
No, r/detrams only shows that detransitioners exist, which is not contentious.
They are about 1% of transitioners. Depending a bit on how hostile the society is: https://www.gendergp.com/detransition-facts/
The validity of the Dutch study is questionable.
What are the main flaws in that study?
In any case it's not the only one. The UK had a crisis where one of their clinics had between 6 and 7 percent detranisitionin, and concluded that the clinic wasn't meeting all the needs of their patients. A Swedish study found 2% has some kind of regret. Not all of those would have detransitioned.

It's an empirical science
My thing is science, yours is more akin to religion.
Bias and shoddy methodology.
In any case it's not the only one
Even if those old studies were valid, and that's doubtful, it doesn't account for the fad-like sociogenic spreading of transgenderism during the last two years.

What is shoddy about the methodology?
What bias is present?

It's a self reported survey where they didn't bother to follow up with everyone.
It was funded by trans advocates.

No it wasn't a survey, and it wasn't self reported.
It was funded by trans advocates
Oh, not a bias in the statistics then.
Was there an external funding body? Who was it?

... You didn't read it?

Yes. It's from medical records, not surveys.
What did you read?

I don't think that's correct. This study is suss.
