An evolutionary Biologist along with the video makers have a debate/conversation with a Psychologist on gender dysphoria. It is a very interesting conversation. One of the things that comes up is the fact that several countries have done SEGM's which apparently are the highest standard in review and have stopped giving sex change surgeries to children because the evidence does not support doing so. Also, it was brought up that gender dysphoria is a social contagion. Bulimia was an example brought up where the cases of women using the method to lose weight exploded once it was brought to public attention.



Here's the Germany SEGM.


"A new study (now available in English) from Germany poses a formidable challenge to the presumption of permanence of gender dysphoria in adolescents and young adults. German insurance data, containing medical claims for about 14 million insured persons aged 5–24, indicate that over 60% of young people diagnosed with "Gender Identity Disorder" (F64) no longer have the diagnosis 5 years later, indicating low diagnostic stability."

"There has been an overall 8-fold increase in the prevalence of gender-identity-related diagnoses (F64), overrepresented among adolescent females over the last decade."

This last sentence is shining a light on the social contagion, since gender dysphoria was primarily a male issue in the past, where now it's mostly females presenting as having dysphoria.
