Is there scientific, non-anecdotal evidence for what is described in the Gender Dysphoria Bible?

I ask because the theory is a big part of how I figured out I was trans, and it would be the easiest way to explain my transness to other people - I haven't had many stand-out experiences of the more commonly understood forms of gender dysphoria, and my life up to this point has basically been constant mental health struggles with a few light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel moments of gender euphoria.

But I don't know whether to risk bringing it up while trying to explain/justify myself to (potentially skeptical and poorly educated) healthcare providers and the like, as I pursue medical transition for the first time. Having evidence to point to would make it more convincing, I guess.

Not exactly, but this is the closest afaik

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_gender_incongruence

That lists different research on trans individuals, such as MRIs and autopsies on trans brains. Most of the research has small sample sizes and is not all that extensive.

This actually helped crack my egg personally
