Dutch study proves kids grow out of gender dysphoria

A 15 year long dutch study has shown that gender dysphoria is temporary in most kids, I'm wondering how the activists will try and explain it 🤔

EXCL: Most kids grow out of desire to change sex, study suggests

Researchers from The Netherlands found one-fifth of children who are unhappy with their gender grow out of the feeling by the time they become adults, according to a 15-year study.

The survey does not examine gender dysphoria, which is diagnosed using the DSM-5 definition. It asks if “I wish to be of the opposite sex.” which is not remotely sufficient for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Plenty of GNC non-transgender kids wish to be the opposite sex.

So whatever this study demonstrates it’s not “proving kids grow out of gender dysphoria.”

Oh god can you imagine the sinking feeling that parents who have enabled their children to transition must be feeling now. The guilt.

My 11 year old Granddaughter was insistent that she was a boy until about a year ago. Now she happily wears dresses and fancies boys. She is 14. We put no pressure on her. However, it has occurred to me that many moons ago many girls went through Tom Boy phases and nothing was made of it. I do feel that social media now encourages them to mistake this for more than it is. Not in all cases of course but in the majority of them. Wait and see seems to be a wise approach.

Gonna print the study out and send it to all the governors at stepdaughter’s old school 😬

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it agin. When I was 12/13 I’d have given my eye teeth not to be heading towards being a woman. I hated periods, I hated dealing with sanpro, I hated my changing body. If someone had offered me an “out” via being trans I’d have grasped it with both hands.

Now, I believe being a woman is fucking awesome (albeit still challenging at times <sideeye at perimenopause>) and one tiny upside of this entire gender shitshow is that through MN, WRN, LWS etc I’ve encountered so many other brilliant, funny, intelligent and fucking amazing women.

Who’d want to miss that?

Extremely interesting, thanks for posting. Certainly suggests rushing into affirmative treatment could leave the majority in a really awkward situation ☹️

They’ll start threads diverting attention away from this and onto something (or someone) else, and attempt to keep the other the thread going by repeatedly posting even though hardly anyone is responding.

Thank you for posting this. Let's hope our lot take heed.

It's such a hugely important study, confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt what so many have known anyway. 15 years of following up. Compare that to the Tavistock not doing any follow up whatsoever.

Foot. Stairs. Gone to.

They'll probably try to ignore it for as long as possible!

All questions will be framed as right wing, pearl clutching bigotry. The determination to transition children is very powerful amongst transactivists. 😡
