I posted this earlier today in a different thread:
Most Children Grow Out of Gender Confusion Over Time, Long-Term Dutch Study Suggests
While proponents of “gender-affirming” treatment for adolescents claim that the confusion surrounding gender isn’t just a phase that one can grow out of, a long-term, large-scale study from the Netherlands seems to suggest otherwise.
For their study, researchers at the University of Groningen looked at data collected from 2,772 individuals through a survey spanning 15 years. Beginning at age 11, the participants were periodically asked about how they felt about their own gender, until they reached their mid-twenties.
The survey contained a prompt, “I wish to be of the opposite sex.” The participants were asked to respond to that same statement every two to three years over the course of the 15-year study, and each time, they were given a multiple choice: “Not True,” “Somewhat or Sometimes True,” and “Very True or Often True.”
According to the findings, 11 percent of participants reported at least some degree of “non-contentedness” with their gender at some point during the study. But by the age of 25, the dissatisfaction rate had dropped to 4 percent.
People who supported genital mutilation will not allow a study such as this to change their minds.
The logic is simple: if they admit they supported one of the worst forms of child abuse then they would be culpable.
To protect their psyche they must deny this report is true.
