EXCLUSIVE: Most gender-confused children grow out of it, landmark 15-year study concludes - as critics say it shows being trans is usually just a phase for kids

• 11 percent of adolescents reported being unhappy with their gender
• 19 percent who reported unhappiness as kids no longer expressed it as adults

The majority of gender-confused children grow out of that feeling by the time they are fully grown adults, according to a long-term study.

Researchers in the Netherlands tracked more than 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-twenties, asking them every three years of feelings about their gender.

Results showed at the start of the research, around one-in-10 children (11 percent) expressed 'gender non-contentedness' to varying degrees.

But by age 25, just one-in-25 (4 percent) said they 'often' or 'sometimes' were discontent with their gender.

The researchers concluded: 'The results of the current study might help adolescents to realize that it is normal to have some doubts about one's identity and one's gender identity during this age period and that this is also relatively common.'

It comes amid a massive boom in transgender children receiving drugs to change their gender in the US - as critics say doctors and parents are not challenging young people enough.

Patrick Brown, a fellow at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center who was not involved in the research, told DailyMail.com: 'This study provides even more reason to be skeptical towards aggressive steps to facilitate gender transition in childhood and adolescence.

"no ****, Sherlock"

Nope, we need to cut their balls off because sad.

Leftists want to sterilize and mutilate them before they grow out of it.

Its good to have the study to back it up but anyone who has spent time around kids and teens growing up knows this to be true. They go through phases, seek attention, create drama, go with the flavor of the month, etc in any way possible.

Its criminal we have dumbasses in this country including parents and medical professionals who think the kids need to alter their junk or take hormones or other garbage.

If you want to be trans and change your body, go for it. Just do it as an adult and leave the kids and teens alone.

I wish BSC was a phase people outgrew as well.

They can't grow out of it if you re-tard their puberty or surgically alter them

The rest of us just called it puberty and dealt with it by falling back on social and family and institutional structures to guide us through it.

Now some of those are so warped and distorted by activism that they push and encourage amplification of any confusion or questions, presuming the norm isn't really the norm for good reason and that it doesn't best serve most kids in the long run.

Came here to post this!

Well obviously the change is because all the participants who didn't get surgically mutilated must have killed themselves right?

Plus Juan.

And for those that don't, once they're adults, who cares what they do with their bodies.

This tracks with a recent study out of Finland which showed something like 90% of "trans" kids no longer identify as trans by the time they are adults.

Much of western europe was ahead of us in transitioning kids and many of those countries have already stopped doing it. We are just a few short years away from a lot of these transition clinics being sued into oblivion.

Puberty is not easy for anyone. Growth spurts, your body is changing, feel awkward.

Was listening to Walton & Johnson the other day and this came up. Can't remember the exact name of the publication, but it is one that is apparently the main one for urologists and that industry - had an article about a study done - longer term study - on suicide rates of trans kids.

Turns out, there is no actual data on suicide rates for those that are "confused". But there is actual data for those that have gone all the way through the surgery aspect and fully transformed into the other sex. Yeah....those people have over 2x the suicide rate than others in the same age brackets.

Shocking, I know - but it turns out that when people make irrepairable life altering surgeries, especially at a younger age, they regret those decisions and often end up killing themselves later.

Happiness is not the same thing as gender confused. HTH.

This Gender confusion nonsense is all the making of moronic woke parents. If my kid ever came to me with that, I would slap him upside down and tell him to GTFO and hit the books. And the tennis courts.

The previous bullet point is 11% expressed unhappiness with their gender as kids. Sure, unhappiness is not the same as confused, but the second bullet directly references the first. That means 81% were still unhappy with their gender. Hopefully this explains why I'm confused by this bullet point in context of the rest of the OP.

This was all from before the medical industry figured out how to make money off these people and the fact that liberal women want to show everyone just how liberal they are. This ain't going back anytime soon. The government likes the tax revenue they also get from these stupid and unnecessary procedures.

Yes you are confused. I encourage you to read the article, it's explained in much more detail.

Hey Libs (& mutilators of kids), do we still "trust the science?"

Thanks for the suggestion (and recognizing I wasn't trying to start an argument). After reading the paper, I think the second bullet point Is misleading. The study says 19% of the total sample were comprised of individuals that expressed unhappiness as an adolescent and not as an adult. The bullet point, as I read it, makes it sound like the second bullet is a subset of the 11% from the first bullet.

shocker. thank goodness anothe study was done to confirm absolute common sense.

Many studies also conclude that, for those who decide to transition, there is a <1% regret rate. This is a lower percentage than any other cosmetic surgery. This number suggest that most kids who grew out of their dysphoria didn't attempt to transition.

Dr Jay Richards, director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family, told DailyMail.com: 'We've known for over a decade that most kids who experience distress with their sexed bodies resolve those feelings after they pass through natural puberty.

'Indeed, we can infer from the DSM 5 [2013] and other sources that as many as 88 percent of gender-dysphoric girls and as many as 98 percent of gender-dysphoric boys in previous generations desisted if allowed to go through natural puberty.

'These two facts make it clear why "gender-affirming care" on minors is such an outrage. It leads, in the end, to sterilization and in many cases to a complete loss of natural sexual function.

'There is no good evidence that this helps minors long term. Moreover, it medicalizes what could very well be temporary psychological symptoms.

'History will judge this medicalized "gender-affirming care" on minors as we now judge eugenics and lobotomies.'

It should be judged even harsher. What these "doctors" were doing to these kids should be a crime and every single one of them thrown a trash compactor.

Mentally ill people have messed up lives, it's no win situation..

Many studies?

Yes, here's an example.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt went through a very prolonged 'tomboy' phase, over a decade, dressed as a boy, even wanted to be called a boys name and now she's a beautiful feminine girl who's almost 20. Say what you will about Angelina and Brad, they let her figure it out.

Unlike Charlize Theon who had one of her boys in skirts at three and claims he's trans.

Imagine how messed up biologically and mentally Shiloh would be if they'd given her puberty blockers or mutilated her body.

I knew I was male as a kid and always wanted to be male as I grew up because I wanted to **** the ***** and not be one.

Hot take....they weren't confused in the first place, until messed up adults put messed up ideas in their heads.

Soooo many girls, who grow up to be pretty/feminine 'girly' girls, were 'tom boys' growing up.

But today, they show a hint of toughness, or athleticism, etc...and they're told they're gay or trans. Just let kids be kids, like we have done for many millennium, and all will be ok. Stop pushing weird ideologies onto them.

A landmark Finnish study is changing how we approach transgender kids

By Social Links forBenjamin Ryan
Published Feb. 24, 2024, 7:00 a.m. ET

The movement backing gender-transition treatment for children is built on the claim that pediatric medical interventions are not only "medically necessary" but truly "life saving."

However, no researchers have ever tried to figure out whether this claim is true.

Until now.

A major new study out of Finland found that providing cross-sex hormones and gender-transition surgeries to adolescents and young adults didn't appear to have any significant effect on suicide deaths.

What's more, gender distress severe enough to send young people to a gender clinic wasn't independently linked to a higher suicide death rate either.

What was independently tied to a greater chance of suicide in young adults?

A high number of appointments with mental-health specialists; in other words, severe mental health challenges.

And so, the researchers concluded two things: One, that suicide deaths were higher, but still rare in gender-distressed young people.

And two, that this group's higher suicide rate was tied to the fact that they had a higher rate of severe psychiatric problems, not to their gender distress.

The children are not gender confused, their mother is the problem, I would bet in probably 95% of the cases.
