These are the most important bits from the paper. Essentially, the author proposes a theory (multisense theory of gender dysphoria) that gender dysphoria is linked in some way to the following:
>Chronic distress, gender nonconformity, and incongruence and body ownership
Then suggests that chronic distress dimension could, in fact, be a cause gender dysphoria based on current evidence. The author acknowledges that this theory could be incorrect and is only partially backed by current data, but suggests that future data should be oriented to test this theory. He also suggests that HRT's partial effectiveness could be attributed to helping ease the third dimension of gender dysphoria: incongruence and body ownership. This would imply that the author believes HRT does not address the root cause of gender dysphoria, but instead eases one of the symptoms.
It is in no way hostile to the transgender community and is well written. It should not have been taken down in my opinion.

And remember: if you want to actually argue about something, at least fucking skim over the paper instead of acting like a pseud.
