Did you read the High Court Judgement about the waiting list for the former Tavistock GIDS clinic and the evidence of the youngsters concerned.
I did and you posted a link too if I recall correctly. It's the evidence that says stuff like 'We knew X (born male) was a girl because they liked girl things not boy things' ..... Well that's your problem right there, isn't it? Who on earth thinks boys who like ballet are girls, and girls who like climbing trees are boys? Buy the boy a tutu and the girl a pair of climbing shoes and take them to ballet and bouldering lessons.
Yes, the waiting lists are horrendous but they are for most mental health issues. It's obvious that the huge increase in referrals hasn't come out of nowhere and looking at why there has been such an increase - especially amongst girls - was an important part of Cass.
Edit: Forgot the link. Guardian on Cass/cause of increase in referrals:

... from 50 referrals a year to 5,000 a year.
