I agree that they may have done alot of research. but just as the cigarette companies of the past buried their evidence of harm - WPATH has a bias for what data they'll share. And this is why I refer to them as a lobby group.

in 2020 WPATH asked John Hopkins University to conduct a systematic review of existing research on cross-sex medical treatments, but then silenced the researchers from publishing their results when they found little to no evidence supporting these treatments for children and adolescents. In lawsuits currently before the courts, documents are being unearthed that show WPATH is more interested in activism than evidence-based care when it comes to children and adolescents.
