@animeirl @sun_eater @m @bot OK just took a couple minutes and scraped up some references for you:

https://sk.sagepub.com/Reference/the-sage-encyclopedia-of-lgbtq-studies/i12532.xml <on the etiology of different types of transgenderism

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-009-9594-3 <more etiology, particularly about the age of onset of different types of transgenderism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanchard's_transsexualism_typology <for a QRD on AGP, particularly WHY autogynephilia isn't talked about often (to be clear, I don't have anything against AGP people, only the tiny subset who are also involved in postmodern progressive ideology and want to impose it on kids)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/06/03/schools-gender-identity-transgender-lessons/ <slow imposition of the ideology to kids, this is the washington post so they're not going to go into the more pornographic aspects and to be fair the most outrageous stuff is saved for middle schoolers, but it shows how MOTIVATED these people are to teach kids this stuff-- keep in mind this is all done to "support transgender youth" WHAT transgender youth are there in elementary school?

https://www.jaacap.org/article/S0890-8567(13)00187-1/fulltext <on desistance rates of early-onset transgenderism (around 85%). Small sample size, but followup reasearch is REALLY hard to get funded in the current climate.
