[QUOTE="tall73, post: 75828953, member: 125574"] Just to elaborate, the 2015 transgender survey found a fairly significant percentage of mtf transgenders who did not wish to have bottom surgery, or any surgery. A number had no cross hormonal treatment, etc. And yes, while some may experience distress at times, gender dysphoria is a diagnosis at a particular point and is not necessarily ongoing. Of course, the 2015 survey was for adults. And while some health experts are willing to undergo chemical or surgical interventions for those who need treatment of dysphoria, because there is a perception that it mitigates suicide risk, etc. there are fewer who would do elective surgery without dysphoria on a minor because there is no offsetting of risk, and it would be better to have consent. Moreover, that is part of the debate regarding desisting as well. If some are able to manage dysphoria without permanent interventions then it may be wise to delay permanent interventions, in case a person with dysphoria desists or decides that they are accepting of their body even if they continue to identify differently than natal sex.
