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.

gender of the brain

Where is evidence of this claim? What is "gender" of the brain? The brain of any body is the sex of that body. Any feelings in a man's brain are male feelings. To claim you can feel and know what the other sex feels is a stunning display of hubris and ignorance. To feel like you don't align with the sex stereotypes (gender) for your sex is normal. No one feels like they align with stupid social stereotypes. No one actually believes gender is what all members of that sex class are universally into. Who thinks all men are violent, emotional, aggressive, mechanically inclined, humorless, and all have the same likes of shitty beer, sportsball, and denigrating women. We are all different and none of us aligns to gender expectations. There is no such thing as "brain gender."

Haha, they can't let that one go. They keep looking and take the fact that they can't find it as proof that they need to look harder.

It's the same as with the "gay gene." They' can't accept that all of this is Nurture and not Nature, because if they accept that then they have to accept that all of this LGBTPQPWTF is preventable.

Let's be real here, people are born with their sexuality, or at least have it cemented very early on. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a gene though; it could be a developmental error or have environmental or hormonal causes.
