I don’t actually necessarily think that there’s a contradiction between the Economist article and these links (which I did take a look at, yes). This says that as a whole, giving gender-affirming care to transgender individuals is overwhelmingly good for them. I can believe that. The Economist says that when you limit it to adolescents, it’s a lot less clear. I can also believe that. Do you have sources indicating clear positive outcomes for adolescents? Like I say, I’m genuinely interested in learning.
