I'm also curious regarding your reservations about the lack of evidence over the issues of gender and sexuality, yet your firm affirmation without evidence that measures like the ones taken have "ether no or a negative effect."
Do you have evidence? Or do you need evidence only to change your perspective, but none to confirm it? If you have it, link it. Show it. This impacts me and people I know greatly and quite frankly this move seems good to me, so I'd appreciate evidence that shows me it's nothing worth being excited about.

I would start with a list of propositions that have been made in this thread that have little to no evidence to support them:
- the immutability of transgenderism
- the biological origins of transgenderism - this has grown acutely controversial when it is compared analogous to the biological origins of homosexuality.
- the effectiveness of surgery - longitudinal studies indicate that suicide rates remain inordinately high after surgery.
- whether or not gender dysphoia is permanent after childhood - recent studies have shown that the vast majority of children resolve gender identity issues on their own or with family members - what differentiates the remaining children is unclear at this point.
