The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Gender Binary Meets the Gender-Variant Child (2015, background): “Over the last decade, preadolescent gender-variant children have garnered widespread visibility, beyond the walls of the “medicopsychological” clinic, where much of the research on, and management of, childhood gender variance traditionally has occurred (Bryant 2006).”
The Gender Affirmative Model: What We Know and What We Aim to Learn (2013, background): “Psychotherapies attempting to tweak a child’s gender identity or expressions have been shown to suppress authentic gender expression and create psychological symptoms [Bryant, 2006; Green, Newman, & Stoller, 1972].”
Cisgenderism in psychology: pathologising and misgendering children from 1999 to 2008 (2012, background): “Bryant analysed indepth interviews and analysis of ‘LGBTQ’ community publications, documenting the harm that the GIDC model has done both to children with same gender attractions and to those whose genders differ from those typically associated with their biology in minority world contexts.”
A critical commentary on follow-up studies and “desistance” theories about transgender and gender-nonconforming children (2018, background): “In contrast, the positioning of this goal as benign ignores the potential harms to young people who have undergone such treatments (Bryant, 2006).”
