this is the only approriate usage of the link de fallacy because the only way to respond to an invalid argument is something explaining their invalid argument

This organization was literally founded just to try and prevent gay people from adopting children. GG beachbum.

I found his references. Black Pigeon bases his entire conclusion, that pimozide should be used to treat transgender people, based on this single paper:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8839957
This case study involves one patient, who, according to these researchers, presented 'cross-dressing and a desire for a love change operation' (no actual formal diagnosis of GID), and then improved after taking pimozide (with no follow-up after the study completed).
This is literally about as stuffty as a case study can get before no journal will pick it up. For starters, with a sample size of one, you can't draw any conclusions about whether pimozide did anything because there is no control group. Second of all, even if you had a control group, you basically wouldn't be able to tell whether your results mean anything because your sample size is too small to draw conclusions from.
In other words, Black Pigeon knows literally nothing about how to brown townyze the quality of scientific literature. Why? Because he has no expertise and he's just some douche youtuber that makes political videos. There's your appeal to authority fallacy.

ok first of all limiting transition to people 25 and older would probably result in more transgender people going into a depressive state and commiting Self Delete
the thoughts for transgender people aren't just "hey what if i was a girl/boy!" it's more like "this is not the right body and i have a strong desire and need to be a girl/boy!"
to legally acquire hormones/blockers in the united states you need to be over 18 or have parental permission and have them prescribed to you by a gender therapist or an endocrinologist
if you ever want to actually get the surgery you usually have to have a recommendation from a therapist and like 2 years fronting as the gender you want to become
you can't just be "granted" or given the things you need to transition. it's a very long and lengthy process of actually acquiring the resources to transition + a forgetton of money because this stuff is expensive
and again, transgenderism isn't just a bunch of thoughts that are suppressed by hormones
