Gay males don't even figure out they're gay until around 8-10 but Wazz wants us thinking that people know they're supposed to be a different sex earlier than that?
Some lgbt people know they're gay earlier than that, at least anecdotally, but gender and sexuality are not the same, even though they interact with each other so closely, and many trans people report knowing that they were born in the wrong body before they have the language even to understand that feeling of dysphoria or what gender even means. It would be foolish of you to dismiss those claims even if you were an expert in the field.
I cannot understand what connection you're implying about those who detransition. There will be many trans people for whom transitioning will improve their mental health; there will be some for whom they think transitioning will improve their mental health, but it turns out that it comes with its own set of problems that they aren't equipped to face, so they consider transitioning back. Let them. Society will not suffer a jot if we let people be who they want to be. Only bigots will suffer, and even that suffering is only to their sense of the way the world should be, i.e. there is no material aspect to it.
