A landmark 15-year study found what critics have been saying all along: most “trans” children grow out of their gender confusion by the time they are fully grown adults.
Dutch researchers tracked 2,700 children starting at the age of 11 until their mid-twenties, asking about their gender every three years.
The study, published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, began with 1-in-10 children (11%) expressing “gender non-contentedness” to varying degrees.
But by age 25, just 1-in-25 (4%) said they were “often” or “sometimes” unhappy with their gender.
“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,” the researchers concluded.
“Gender non-contentedness, while being relatively common during early adolescence, in general decreases with age and appears to be associated with a poorer self-concept and mental health throughout development.”
But over the last 7 years, rates of gender dysphoria diagnoses soared in every state except one, “with the average age of diagnosis trending younger,” the Daily Mail reported.
The evidence also highlights the trans movement’s social contagion characteristics as well as the medical industry’s profit incentive given the sharp rises in gender dysphoria diagnoses in a relatively short period of time.
As a teacher I had a student “transitioning’ last year. I was instructed to refer to the individual with he/him pronouns and by “his” newly chosen name. I did not comply, and instead spent the year using terms like “ kiddo” instead. I was pretty much spoken down to by both guidance counselors and several colleagues, but I ignored them. (Admin never got involved).
This school year rolls around and this student returned to my classroom to say hello and visit a bit during the open house ( I teach 6th ). The student was excited to tell me that “she” had a new boyfriend. She had on some makeup, had changed her hair, and while not presenting a “girly” appearance, she was none the less clearly effeminate. Never heard back from guidance or the colleagues when I shared this turn of events via email…. All year so far.
There are only two sexes. I will not be part of another’s delusion.
Sex is not the same as gender. Why can’t you get that?
What makes you say something so stupid 4:43 ?
4:43 – thanks for your enlightened response to my post. Tell you what, I’ll stick with God on this. You do you, but don’t say you weren’t warned come judgement day.
4:43 – Your viewpoint is flawed and wrong. Sex and gender are assigned at birth to each of us by God. If you want to tell God he’s wrong, that’s your business, but I wouldn’t suggest it.
Good for you, 7:34!! You did the right thing rather than bow to the echelon POS that think they are so high and mighty!
just keep them away from Democrats !!!!
