Did you know that people who "attempt suicide" and people who die by suicide are overlapping but distinct groups? Only about 3% of people who attempt suicide but survive eventually go on to die by suicide later. This has to do with the classic disparity between men and women, where women attempt suicide more often, but usually with less immediately lethal means. Consider this, and the fact that the Youth self-report survey aggregates male and female respondents under the trans label, when you think about those statistics.
Also Tom, of the 3 articles you just quoted, only one actually does any actual data analysis, and that one comes again from the Youth Self-Report survey from 2020. The other 2 are about psychotherapeutic (lol) approaches to trans people. A reminder that psychotherapists are even to this day still writing journal articles about the importance or "repressed memories" .
All that being said, I'm sure little gender non-conforming kids who aren't punished by their parents for liking dolls are healthier mentally than the ones beaten for it. That doesn't mean that puberty blockers or uncritical acceptance of gender declarations are good, nor does it make you anything but an AGP fetishist, who admits that the main focus of his thoughts of becoming female happen through masturbation.
