You may want to start doing some cursory research before you start your feminist crusade. From the linked guardian article

Because it controls the maximum number of variables. Due to the large developmental differences between male and female fetuses, it makes more sense to do the study once per gender, rather than doing a single study with a mix of both.

That first story. *shudder*.

This is what you've told me my position is

Parrots can repeat things verbatim, with no understanding of what they are saying.

Hormone blockers at puberty are not HRT.

If all you are advocating is that the child waits until the age of agency in order to undergo HRT, then we have no quarrel.

Your position simply isn't what the medical guidance or the research says. If you read the source I linked http://www.wpath.org/uploaded_files… it makes it clear the recommend the age of agency and that any extreme hormonal intervention not occur in children.

Can you cite any source that indicates trans-aware parents forcing being transgender on their children?

No, irrationality is believing that because I repeat, verbatim, the findings of people who are entirely qualified to make a therapeutic judgment, it somehow becomes irrational simply because it is being heard through me.

The evidence I've cited simply doesn't require any medical knowledge. I've clearly explained the difference between a study that requires a medical doctorate to understand and one that does not.

You think it's that simple, huh. Is that how you get YOUR medical care?

I wonder if you show this much concern for transgender children that are labelled "boy" or "girl" at birth?

My lack of credentials is why I am quoting from peer-reviewed research by people who do have credentials.

I didn't imply that you're a bigot, I said that calling a transgender person's opinion on things that they have lived experiences with "unfounded" is bigoted. There's a difference.

I'm sorry but I have to immediately follow up to disagree with you in the strongest terms.

I never said anything about there being only 3 boxes, check one

No, it would be completely different - my concern for a child who has been labelled "male" that insists that are, in fact, "female" would be significantly greater than my concern that this child has been told they are transgendered too young.

I think you're missing the thing that makes anyone express concern about this - just as heteronormative parents, for a very long time, tried to force either one gender or the other upon children, we are now having trans-aware parents trying to force transgender on children.

I've already addressed your points, and I have listened to the author. Unfortunately your implication that I am a "bigot" because I disagree with a transgender person (even on the issue of transgender) is logically vacuous.
