Lawrence Krauss, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker and other anti-trans influencers personally benefited from a right-wing academic social group backed by infamous human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, sometimes meeting at his island.

I'm not sure what your question is ... are you saying how credible should we take a 60 year old man claiming to be a 7 year old girl?

I hope you can see how divorced this is from the context of discussing trans identity, since the man doesn't claim to be a 60 year old woman, but instead believes himself to be a 7 year old girl (assuming he wasn't just joking because he's wearing the outfit for a different reason, like a birthday party).

If he really believes this, it is more likely a result of psychosis than something like gender identity, so it's unrelated to the present topic.

Trans people are not psychotic, their gender identity is not a delusion or the result of a psychiatric condition, it is a developmental neuro-endocrine disorder that results in incongruence between the way the brain develops and the way the rest of the body develops.
