There is an interesting site called 'Psychohistory' founded by Lloyd deMause. psychohistory.com. There are some free articles there that explore the connections between childhood abuse and mental issues, violence, etc. in a societal setting.

That these supposed 'therapists' are not looking for background reasons a child might want to transition is frightening and destructive to the child (and likely anyone who will have a relationship with them in the future...)
