The problem with an elevator pitch is that it's condensed so much that it has to ignore the complexities. I think many transgender people don't have any goal beyond having people accept them for who they are. I do agree, though, that waiting is usually best because they could find things shifting somewhat during puberty.
Well an elevator pitch is simply a pitch. Meant to convince in a short time. But you are right. There is complexity and nuance for those who live this out in their skin. But what is happening in our culture among teenage girls is horrific. A pitch brings some clarity if it is factual.
Great pitch. Can I share this on Facebook?
Sure, Steve. Hope you are doing well.

Right, I understand your purpose in giving a pitch is not an attempt to explain complexities.
I think MTD is a great frame work for so much of what we see in our culture. I intend to learn more about it.
