If the debate is about reality, it's about time the side opposing trans rights opens a scientific journal explaining the differences in the neuroanatomy of trans people and what are empirically proven methods to heal the distress provoked by gender dysphoria. Unless you actually don't care about any of that, and the debate isn't really about facts, but rather that the prospect that we may decide to accept that humans are a little more complicated than you had assumed personally annoys you.

I would genuinely like links to some of these studies. Do you have any specifics?

Regarding neurology, here's a fragment of a lecture where the speaker discusses those studies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QScpDGqwsQ It should give you a basis to find the studies, of which you'll probably find a few more recent ones.

Regarding the latter, take a look at this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/musicotic/comments/8ttud4/a_comprehensive_defense_of_trans_people/ I recommend checking the links and references one by one. Some link to journalistic articles or educative material, some are broken links, and some others are actually scientific articles.

Thank you for the pointers. It was a sincere request and the literature somewhat scattered.
