Landmark Study Finds Most Children Outgrow Gender Dysphoria

A 15-year study from the Netherlands reveals a significant decrease in gender non-conformity from early adolescence to adulthood, challenging current medical practices on gender transition for minors.

The study tracked 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-twenties, finding an 11% initial rate of gender non-contentedness that dropped to 4% by adulthood.
Researchers associate early gender dysphoria with poorer self-concept and mental health, suggesting it often resolves over time.
Critics of gender transition interventions for minors cite the study as evidence against the necessity and safety of such practices.
Some medical professionals question the ethics of not fully informing children about the lifelong consequences of gender transition procedures.
Recent legislative moves in multiple states and countries reflect a growing skepticism towards medical intervention for gender dysphoria in minors.
