basically says you can't explore other things that have impacted the child and might contribute to how they are feeling (you need to affirm that they are a different gender).

Kiera went to the GIDS and was never helped to examine her GD and look at what might be causing it (for her, she was simply gender non-conforming).

Many adults, who have GD, they say they do not wish to be challenged, just supported. The detransitioners, of course, look back and wish someone had explored this more with them.

On a positive note, the NHS has taken down it's claim that cross-sex hormones have no lasting effects. They do.
