"Of the 139 participants, 17 (12.2%) were classified as persisters and the remaining 122 (87.8%) were classified as desisters."

"Of the 12 boys who had partially or completely transitioned prior to puberty, 10 (83.3%) were classified as persisters. In contrast, of the 67 boys who had not socially transitioned, only 13 (19.4%) were classified as persisters."

Thank you for posting.

That is interesting - sad for the children involved, but good to get some actual statistics to use in the argument "children know from being very small that they are in the wrong body."

We shouldn't have to be fighting this bollox with stats - it's common bloody sense, but sadly, this madness has such a hold - every head that is cut off grows 7 more, like the hydra. They wiggle and squirm out of the truth constantly.

The wellbeing of the persisters is placed above the well being of the desisters .

Had any work been done yet on girls?

I thunk it's Helen Joyce who cites a long term prospective study from the 60s or 70s where 1 in 50 of the observed gnc boys transitioned.

We are seeing that one in 50 have a disproportionately loud say. They transitioned as adults but "always knew" the other 49 probably "knew" at 10, 14, 16, but not later (I forget he timeline). Is gender identity fluid? Were they wrong at 10, 14, 16?
Slight detail and preaching to the converted, but it stuck with me, when there are few studies like this.
