No you haven't. The reason I say you haven't is because it doesn't exist.

The DSM-V, in reference to children who experience gender dysphoria (which is just the distress not the identity), states that anywhere from 2-30% of males and 2-50% of females who experience gender dysphoria before puberty will experience it after as well.
So this group wants us to ignore what gender dysphoria is (instead saying "gender confused" in their press release) and focus on just the low end. It also ignores the rather loose criteria of what gender dysphoria is in children versus teens and adults. If your kid doesn't want to play with trucks, likes pink shirts, and plays with girls, he could be classified as having gender dysphoria under DSM-V.
Source: Google the DSM-V. It's pages 450-455.
Yeah, I've seen that. Always good to know that claiming scientists have an agenda is a favorite pasttime for those that believe scientists that actually do have an agenda and distort information to suite their needs.
