Thank you for this great essay and summary of what is happening!
Here are a few more references in case they are useful (and apologies if they are not, I am happy to delete them).
About neurological causes, there is a parent article with medical references for the summary you have of effects at https://pitt.substack.com/p/transgender-medical-interventions .
For therapy:
Complementing the excellent work of Sasha Ayad is that of Evans and Evans (on Quillette), Az Hakeem (article about him on transgendertrend), and many others, Evans and Evans just wrote a book on gender dysphoria with lots of case studies, with examples of dialogue.
Genspect also just had a conference where Stella O'Malley spoke about supporting those with later onset gender dysphoria with explorative psychotherapy, the video of the conference is at the conference web page genspect.org/conferences.
There are so many ways in to gender dysphoria and so many ways to disentangle what is happening and thus to go forward.
(Also paper 5 is sometimes used to claim that young people don't really desist--paper 7 shows why this doesn't hold water, although the paper 5 authors did not agree-paper 7 is pretty readable I think.....)
Thanks!
