I think that for a source like this to be relied upon for advice, it needs to be a lot more rigorous - I've noticed that throughout the website there are very few citations throughout the entire thing, and I think the quality of scientific evidence that we have now is good enough that we can be more specific/honest about where information is coming from, in particular with regard to the section on biochemical dysphoria and anything else that can be empirically verified or has to do with the ontology of being trans, or that could possibly influence someone's decision to transition.
I suggest we inline cite every important claim, maybe with a tooltip, and when something is speculation or gathered from community experience, we should be clearer about it.
