As a transgender minor in the U.S. It's interesting to compare and contrast between over here and China, it's honestly quite similar, even if it seems like there's more apprehension towards Hormone therapy over there.

But how do they determine if a case of transgenderism is legitimate and not just a porn addiction?

Maybe this is a western problem because that is the case of at least 60% of transgender people here, and the US medical system is incentives doctors pushing expensive interventions and drugs before physiological counseling.

You're speaking nonsense based on nothing but your own opinion.

There is no scientific evidence linking transgender status to pornography, trauma, or fetishes. This is misinformation spread by hate groups funded by far right political interests. As the article states, it's an natural state of being. Trans people have existed in every society throughout history, under various names. All rigorously backed evidence shows it is a natural thing that occurs in humans. This clinic in China understands that.

Doctors in china have less of a financial interest in pushing for expensive procedures and drugs (one of the benefits of universal healthcare)

Also how is there a link between porn and questioning their own gender identity? (p.s. there isn't and the questioning of their own gender identity starts at younger ages, ages before they would have been exposed to porn, also porn is highly restricted in China)

This difference in how transgenderism is dealt with can be explained by how different the Chinese and American systems are.

In America, most transgender people have some kind of childhood trauma and develop a reverse gender fetish later into life into adulthood because of that trauma and widespread porn addiction. Only a minority are people who legitimately have conflicting gender and sex genetics. The issue has become very trendy and fashionable too which further complicates things.

This is completely wrong. You are repeating lies that have been spread by American fascists to demonize LGBTQ people.

Its the complete opposite, they are traumatized due to the environment around them not accepting them for who they are rather than being trans because they are traumatized. I implore you to please read on more research paper regarding the issues which you can even find some that are published by Dr. Pan themselves from this article.
