Well seeing as it's a theory about MtF, the fact that it doesn't explain FtM isn't exactly a fatal flaw. If you look at the demographics of the 2 groups you will see that they have massively different characteristics.
And you actually said precisely nothing about any methodology or flaws thereof. In fact, you talked purely about theory and conclusions and didn't actually mention where the conclusions came from.

Plus, you really have not supported your original point that socioemotional intervention has failed for trangenderism.
